I bought a glossy reprint of it, as back in those days, you could order any picture out of newspapersNo photo of it mate ?
Definitely:)I bought a glossy reprint of it, as back in those days, you could order any picture out of newspapers
I worked at the MEN, and our presses run the Guardian and the Daily Mail
The picture I bought from the Mail, never made it with me to Oz
Perhaps there’s some archives if I do enough digging to find a copy
I’m gonna start investigating now!!!
Getty Images may well have it, search on there. Expensive thoughI bought a glossy reprint of it, as back in those days, you could order any picture out of newspapers

That game sticks in my memory too, simply due to the ridiculously negative tactics Leeds employed. For some years after that, whenever a team tried to do the same, the Kippax chant was ' You're worse than Leeds United' :)Sorry Jim think that was Kevin Reeves , December 1980
No it was v Everton.Think the sending off was against Birmingham and there’d been adverts on Piccadilly Radio in the week leading up to it about coming to see Francis at the game
And Kevin Bond scored a screamer to equaliseNo it was v Everton.
Ah, it was a long time ago, but the Piccadilly Radio ad is at least correct!No it was v Everton.
Fabulous player, wonderful person.According to his obituary on the Birmingham City website before his 17th birthday he scored 15 goals in 16 matches including a four in one game against Bolton Wanderers! Some record
It was Neville Southall….and I’m not sure he even connected….but Southall went down like he had been shot.I remember him being sent off after headbutting someone at Maine Road?
That and his lobbed goal at home to Wolves are my only real clear memories of him.
