Francis Lee Has Died

[The Picnic Wasp]

What a player! What a character! The best scrap I've ever seen between two players. No handbags back then. I don't think Norman Hunter's hard man image was ever quite the same after that episode. RIP Sir.

Aww no, sad to hear that. I well remember watching him play for England on the telly as a kid.

My favourite scrap between two players will always be Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer.

He was at the end of his career just as I was getting into the football. Back when City had a decent football team without the need for financial doping!

Also a time when football had real characters and entertainers. George Best, Rodney Marsh, Stan Bowles, Frank Worthington. Now they have character and interest squeezed out of them in an attempt to make them safe and anodyne. Look at Frannie's physique! That would never be allowed in today's game!
