Sad a great player.
Never had a great memory and certainly not improving with age but, in my head, I went to watch an away game at Maine Road with Trevor flying down the wing. Cup game? Late seventies, early eighties? We lost.
Jan 1982 we lost 3-1 Francis scored two big tasty being in a blocked in away end basically in the Kipax
He not only made his debut for Birmingham as a sixteen year old at Ninian Park, he also scored in the first few minutes of the return game at St Andrews seven months in front of a near fifty thousand crowd - it’s a reminder of your own mortality when a player you remember being nicknamed “Superkid” has died.
RIP
Second that....makes me feel uneasy. reading of all these youngsters passing away.....>!!!

Thanks Packerman. Yes, tasty is how I recall it, also, police weren't particularly friendly and we're very "thorough" in their search techniques as we went in.
