Yes, RIP. Didn't disgrace himself with us by any means. Had to be sold to pay the wages, thanks to Swales's colossal mismanagement over the previous 3 years, with a little help from Big Mal

Yes RIP Trevor. I liked him as a pundit. Only 69 as well.

RIP Trevor. Didn't see him at his best with us, but still a great player, professional and a good man. Shocked to see him leave us at just 69, particularly as he seemed ( to me at least) to be fairly sensible and lived a healthy livestyle? - my days might be numbered!

I’m sure he was managing Birmingham when I was a kid?

RIP Trevor Francis. What a player he was.

I remember his nice quote about the Poznan. "City fans turning their backs to do the Poznan but they never turned their backs on their team in the dark days", or words to that effect.

Sad news. I was also at Stoke for his debut. I remember a flag from the time'Jesus saves but Francis nets the rebound'

Very sad news. Liked him both as a player and a pundit which is rare.

69 is no age either really. RIP

First ever game I saw at main road was Trevor Francis first game for us there...and when he scored he ran to the Kippax in front of the fans who went mental.

(If my memory serves me well )

He played for City less than a year didn’t he? Was he that good?
