Considering how prolific he was at Birmingham, it's amazing to think he had 9 years there before moving to Forest. These days he would have barely lasted 12 months before getting snapped up by a bigger fish... Jude Bellingham being a classic modern day example...

It's an age thing. I always think of Birmingham for Francis after seeing him score 2 against us as a 16 year old
Thought he'd scored just the one in a 1-0 triumph. So I checked - and you were of course correct: http://swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19710130Francis returned the following season, 71-72 when Latchford scored for Brum in a 1-1 draw. Birmingham went up that year by which time the 19,000 crowd who saw Francis' brace had dropped to just 14,000. RIP to an obviously very decent guy. |

ah man that's sad. Was never a fan of her music but appreciate she was well regarded by many .
Had mental health issues and her son killed himself a year or so ago, so.. actually that's speculating.

Britains first million pound footballer, Trevor Francis.
Actually he wasn’t. Cloughie wouldn’t pay it on principle. It was £999,999,99 |

Watched him play for Birmingham for several seasons, he was helping out in defence, going box to box and scoring goals, he was half the team most games. |

We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.
