RIP Franny Lee



Even though we are from the red side of town my Dad talked about him a lot and how good he was for City.

Up until this new super era at City he was always considered their greatest ever player and probably still is by some.

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Frannie Lee as he was a great character and one of my favourites. It was great listening to Frannie & Mike Summerbee speaking about the Joe Mercer days. He was part of a marvellous City team around the 1967-70 time and I remember their sides so well. So many of them have sadly passed away now. What great footballers they were.

The Charity Shield beating of West Bromwich and the snow covered Maine Road pitch for the defeat of Tottenham still stand out for me.

R.I.P.

He was a top man. Fond memories of him and his mates getting p!ssed at Maine Road while banging out the old tunes after the games in the 90s, they got in some state but all good fun.

He gave me his autograph way back in the day. Very decent guy and when he left football started a toilet roll empire! Back in the days that fans threw toilet roll!

Sad day to lose him

A true warrior from a bygone era. We had some great scraps against that City side of Summerbee, Lee and Bell. I'm sure Norman 'bite your legs' Hunter will be up there waiting to greet you.

Thanks for the memories Franny. For us Leeds fans, your dust-up with our Norman has become legend but first and foremost you were a great player for club and country. RIP Francis Lee.
