Way too young

Yeah read about this, this morning, was probably pushed a bit further back in the news because of the passing of George Alagiah, and Trevor Francis, as you say 49 is way too young, I’m 47 myself and it really hits you how mortal we are, always liked watching Chris play for Sheffield Wednesday as I had a soft spot for them in the 90s, RIP young man.

Watched him as a young pro down the Vetch, when he was cutting his teeth at Leyton Orient.
You could see the quality then, he must’ve been about 20 years old at the time. RIP
