RIP..a proper legend back in the day.

Does make me think that our own legend ( Curt ) should be well and truly honoured whilst alls well with him. Heaping praise no good when no longer with us.

 

[CurtessECarr]

Great player and fearless. Remember him scrapping with Norman Hunter and for a small guy he gave Hunter as good as he got.
RIP.

 

[Pentyrchjack]

Also a very accomplished racehorse trainer.

 

[TheLoneRanger]

One of the best winners of a penalty I've ever seen - plus nobody fvcked with him!!

RIP Franny

 

[EagleEye]

Tough player, big character, scored some terrific goals. Saw him score the winner in my first ever international at Ninian Park. Wales 0 v 1 England, around 1970 !!

Remember that mud goal. Was it the Baseball Ground? RIP Franny.

 

[BanosPerth]

I met him once about 30 years ago in Perth, Western Australia, where he was running a business after he retired.

Up there with Summerbee , Corrigan the keeper , probably Malcom Allison as Manager about that era .

Highlights with Brian Moore , Soccer Sunday ITV afternoon telly , game at Maine Road in the mud heap of a pitch .

A sad loss like the player , from my younger memories of football , bad news .RIP .

[Swanjaxs]

Ironic that the BBC News last night announced the passing of Man City legend Franny Lee and played a clip of him blasting a 30 yarder into the postage stamp, for Derby County against, yes you've guessed it, Manchester City :lol:

RIP Francis Lee
