Best footballer I have ever seen live - saw him play for Forest at Manchester City when I was a kid and I couldn’t believe his acceleration - phenomenal talent

Scorer of the greatest ever bicycle kick. Nah, Dennis Tueart, 1976 League Cup Final winner. Saw both play and can't believe this news. Both great footballers and easy to see why TF was Britain's (World's?) first £1M transfer. RIP Trev.

I saw Trevor Francis at an after dinner speech.
Told a great story about when he had taken over at Birmingham after Barry Fry. Fry was known for signing everyone with a pulse
6 months into the job, Francis has just finished taking training and was walking down the corridor to his office at the training facility.
Two blokes were walking towards him, who it didn’t know. He challenged them. “Players only here lads”
Reply “We are players boss”
Fry had so many players that Trevor didn’t know them all.

To do that at Wembley to win a domestic trophy was something very special. And, I saw him do it with my own eyes.
