Very sad RIP Trevor.
A very talented footballer and remember watching his Man Citeh debut at the Victoria ground and was the difference on the day.

Can remember him bursting on to the scene and making his first impact at Birmingham aged 16. Of the first million pound players he was probably the only one who was actually worth the money at the time. RIP Trevor.

Posted article about this last month, which seems a little weird now. oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/308930/trevor-francis-debut-stokeApparently he had a heart attack around 2012 and had check ups organised by LMA. |

Could be completely wrong about this but I've got the vaguest of recollections being at a game at the Vic where he missed a penalty in a 1-0 win for us. Mid 70s when he was still just a kid. Is that right?
Had had at least one heart attack already, poor bloke.
Makes you feel old when "teenage" star players start dying of age related conditions.

Very sad RIP Trevor. A very talented footballer and remember watching his Man Citeh debut at the Victoria ground and was the difference on the day. Doesn’t memory sometimes play tricks ? I was convinced that I had seen him score against Stoke on his debut as a very young player but I have just checked and that wasn’t possible as Brum were in the 2nd Division when he first played. Then I saw your post and I think that must have where my debut idea came from - only about ten years out !! Still sure I saw him as a very young player at Stoke though. |

He was brilliant for Forrest winning the European Cup back in the day, a terrific striker. That header against Malmo was outstanding 👏
