RIP Trevor remember him scoring for Sheffield Wednesday against us in a 4-4 draw in the fa cup
I was at that game and it’s true he kept on going down at almost every challenge to the extent that Doug Allder really whacked him when he started to waste time near the end of the game. Earned Allder a booking but the Brum took the points. Anyway can’t take away the fact that he was a very very good player. RIP and condolences to his familyR. I. P. Trevor
The game at St Andrew's in 1972, where he was accused by a number of Millwall players of diving every time someone went near him.
All water under the bridge now, my condolences to his family and friends.
Of course there’s always been strong rumours that Clough also got a huge bung in the deal. £50k didn’t reach Birmingham so they say. Apparently it was the done thing at the time, Billy Bingham was known as Billy Bunghim. The days before players had agents.RIP Trevor, a very good footballer , Clough new what he was doing signing him.
Must have seen him play at the Den but what game I cannot recall.
That’s Gerry
Except us, unfortunately!fk me he played for every one
Isn’t that Brian Conley, the comedian? *
Wasn’t he born in Plymouth ?I liked the bit in the article where it said that the fee Forest paid Birmingham for Francis was not the £1M that everyone thought he’d signed for, but that it was actually £999,999 so as to take the pressure off the young Brummie!
As if £1 was gonna make a difference?
Think that was Jimmy Greaves, AC Milan to Spurs.I liked the bit in the article where it said that the fee Forest paid Birmingham for Francis was not the £1M that everyone thought he’d signed for, but that it was actually £999,999 so as to take the pressure off the young Brummie!

And Chris Bart Williams too
Yeah even Dorney had the hump with him, think you will agree both quite placid players but he really did wind the team up with his diving etcI was at that game and it’s true he kept on going down at almost every challenge to the extent that Doug Allder really whacked him when he started to waste time near the end of the game.

Proud to read proper and due respect to a former Millwall opponent, from those who watched proper football all those years ago.Must have seen him yes as a teenager against Brum, 1970 we beat them 2-1, Francis was a regular as a 16 year old. In the same side with Phil Summerill.
To say that Dorney and Allder were placid is somewhat of an understatement!!Yeah even Dorney had the hump with him, think you will agree both quite placid players but he really did wind the team up with his diving etc
The previous season was when he came into their side, he really was a super kid
This is just a little while after his debut and one of his very earliest goals for the club , At St Andrews
I would not put money on it, cant look it up atm but i think this was also the last Game Billy Neil scored a League goal for the club
Oops! We ran into some problems.
