Francis Lee, 79

 

[sycophantia]

Wow, doesn't seem that old. A big name in my early days of following football.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

A great player but to many their first thought will be his fight with Norman Hunter which is a great example of how the game has changed. RIP Franny.

 

[Tony Towner]

My first thoughts were of him being the original diver, toilet rolls and horses

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Don't remember him as a player, do remember him as a hilariously awful owner of Man City in their banter years. Seemed a nice bloke but so far out of his depth, pretty much every call he made was wrong.

 

[Stan Hullis]

I knew his son at University, what a shame to hear.

 

[nimrod]

great player. hard as nails yet you could knock him down in the penalty area with a feather.

All I can think of is this when I hear his name

Not sure whether to share that with my City-supporting mate. After Saturday it might ruin a 30 year friendship!

Wolves were after signing him from Notlob, but Man City beat us to him. @Tony Towner, Lee AND Kevin Hector were the original divers.

Perhaps we should put a 'home of the original divers' sign up as you drive into town?
