RIP Trevor Francis. A rare talent and a true gent.

Rare in what sense?

[@user-ko6go6wj6c]

RIP Trevor ....you made my teenage years on Sat afternoons at St.Andrews...very enjoyable .

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

He's so true about John Robertson. Possibly the most under-respected player of all time in regards to achievement. A truly magnificent footballer. RIP Trevor

A miracle man has fallen today. What he did for my team will never be forgotten. RIP legend.

Which team was that?

[@mallyd4521]

The term "legend" is banded about too easily these days but in the case of Trevor Francis that term is apt. You will always be a legend at The City Ground........R.I.P Trevor and condolences's to the Francis family.

Extraordinary player and gentleman. One of a kind. Many thanks for sharing your talent with the world, Trevor Francis. May you rest in peace. 🙏🏼🌟

Rest in peace to a fabulous footballer Mr Frances. Luckily I’ve had the privilege to watch him play. My deepest condolences to his family & friends 😢

[@deedee-tc4fh]

What a great story and his respect for his team mates, Cloughie and Taylor whilst so unassuming regarding his major influence and goals for the team. A different type of player then and gone too young.. Thanks Trevor

[@jasondyer811]

A true gentleman ,can never be thanked enough by Forest fans for the Malmo goal . Me and my brother's met the European winning Forest squad literally 2 weeks ago unfortunately Trevor was not there.😪😪

[@padmdhs]

Birmingham legend and footballing icon I can still see him hugging AJ crying absolutely loved the club and any club he went to he was loved RIP Trevor and KRO

[@qazzell]

Born in Plymouth...Not one mention on the local news..Hopeless disrespectful producers..Good bloke Trevor.

[@colby25]

To be fair. He never mentioned or associated himself with plymouth after he left. He lived just down the road from me in the 60s as a kid. He first came to my attention when he starred in a plymouth schools team that reached the england national schools final. Someone at birmingham city spotted him during the run and the rest is history. Local boys who played against him at the time said that his great strength was his lightning pace and speed off the mark.

RIP to an absolutely beautiful footballer and a beautiful man, he certainly made our team Nottingham Forest which was great, even better ❤️

[@slightlyconfused876]

I had the pleasure of watching him play for Birmingham for years, the European final may have been his most memorable match, but he played many better matches for us. The best player of his generation, a real genius, in a time when that word is used far too often. Thanks for the memories Trev.

We will never forget that goal and that game it made history and few players make history! But I have a sneaking feeling BCFC was the first result he looked for! And of course Sheff Wed was close to his heart..a true football man God bless! From all at NFFC

[@neilpountney9414]

We Blues fans know we need to share him with the Forest fans. He was amazing at St Andrews and carried us on his back for years I was gutted when left but he also made me a Forest fan as a second team.

RIP Trevor.... one of my favourite players of my youth and a thoroughly decent guy. I always remember seeing him on TV as a manager after Birmingham lost to Liverpool on penalties in the League Cup in 2001 and how heartbroken he was , after losing his third cup final as a manager. Thankfully he enjoyed great success as a player and given a wee bit of luck could have won the World Cup in 1982 , when he was probably at his peak.

I thought I'd never seen him play 'live' until I was going through some old match programmes recently and found he was in the Man City team beaten 3-1 at home in the F.A. cup by Coventry City (my team) in 1982. He was anonymous in that game, which obviously had an effect on the outcome.
