[Is it PotG?]

Soccer legend has sadly died.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Used to get his sausages from my father in law's butchers shop.

Great player, RIP.

 

[Weststander]

I just missed that brilliant ManC team, RIP, a quality footballer. His boxing style always reminded me of Tony Sibson.

Definite legend … RIP Franny

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Great player - fantastic panalty taker, and was diving around the penalty area long befor Klinsman etc.

RIP Franny.

I seem to remember that he made his money after football through a toilet roll business

 

[Leekbrookgull]

What a character and the Lee/Hunter is how you sorted out any differences. Sad news. R-i-P.

 

[Lenny Rider]

I seem to remember that he made his money after football through a toilet roll business

And a young Peter Kay worked for him.


Made the classic era of going back to City as Chairman, when it had been effectively f***** by Peter Swales, lost a bit of his shine with the City faithful when it didn't work.
