Francis Lee - Rip

[Baron99]

Just heard that Francis Lee has passed. 

 

Now there was a man when football WAS a man's game.  I'll have to look on YouTube.  There must be some footage of him & a few players, Norman Hunter springs to mind, knocking lumps out of each other?

 

Another gone from that great City side.  

RIP.

Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee both Manchester City icons.

Thanks.  Saved me a job. 

 

Nothing like today's players.

 

You notice how nobody actually hit the deck, even Norman Hunter when he clearly clocked one & nobody waving an imaginary red card at the ref to get Lee or Hunter sent off.

He put Hunter in his place.

Don't forget a player I really liked around that time, even though I'm a Blade, Colin Bell.  And let's not forget Dennis Law, (he's still around as far as I know?), from that side at that time.  Man Utd  were nothing in them days.

Francis Lee was not only an excellent footballer but also an excellent business man.  He made his fortune after retiring from football.

Nothing? They finished second the year City won the title and Denis had been a Man Utd player long before.

Good player but one of the first to perfect the art of falling over in the penalty area at the slightest hint (real or imagined) of physical contact ie a diver.
