I cant beleive it.
It only seems like a couple of seasons ago that I saw him playing for Birningham at Orient

Re: R I P Trevor Francis
Remember in his first season as a 16 year old wonder kid he scored twice against us at Brisbane Road (probably the same game)Neptune's Spear wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 2:41 pm I cant beleive it.

Always liked him - had suffered some tragedy recently from his wifes passing and health issues since.

Re: R I P Trevor Francis
69 is no age these days really
There’s probably quite a few on here that are a similar age and it makes you think
He was just three years older than me
Very sad RIP Trevor

Re: R I P Trevor Francis
69 is far too young to leave this world.

RIP

Re: R I P Trevor Francis
He was an icon of his time. Played with enthusiasm and enjoyment, never seemed to lose that boyhood quality.

Re: R I P Trevor Francis
If I remember rightly, wasn’t he the country’s first £million pound plus player. A million nowadays wouldn’t even get you a decent Championship player. How times have changed . R.I.P. Trevor
