So sad.
An absolute legend and one of the first City players I've ever heard of.
Rip.

I was always Frannie Lee when playing kick-about in the park
He wasn't scared of a rumble either

A terrific player pushed out of City too soon. Summerbee left of the golden trio.

Went to his house in Styal once collecting for the cricket club charity auction - zilch - not even a toilet roll cosy
Seriously, his rift with King Colin and time as Chairman with Alan Ball in tow negatively coloured many people's view of him. Great player for us though as a key part of the 68 Champions team.

Or in my case pre-teen. Just
Great player and in truth one of our few legends in my lifetime prior to the Agüero moment.
RIP

RIP Franny, i was just too young to remember him playing, i just remember the posters on our bedroom wall that my older brother put up.
Thanks for taking over from Swales.....
