    Great player. I seem to remember when we drew them in the FA Cup in 73 and he said he would donate his wages if we won. The rest is history as they say. I wonder if he actually did. One of the best home games I have been to

    RIP Franny Lee, he had the heart of a lion.
    Anyone watching the altercation with Norman Hunter should watch them going off the field. Hunter may have won round 1, but Franny won round 2

    RIP, he was a really good player, but annoying as duck to play against.

    He was a great character - it took some courage to stand up to Hunter and put him on the deck

    I loved the fact he went back at him on their way off. No fear at all going at the bigger ‘hard man’.
