    Good player. Seemed to absolutely hate us for some reason.

    RIP Trevor Francis. An idol of mine growing up and always came across as a decent bloke. A real shock

    Went to see Sunderland play at Birmingham when he just got into the team....he was 16 and had a hell of a game....think Birmingham won 3 - 0 that day.
    You could see even then he had superstar material. What I liked most was that he wasn't full of his own sh*t. RIP lad......gone to early but you left the pitch with humility and grace......god bless.

    Sad news, was great player in his day.
    The fact a certain Mr. Clough paid £1m for him says everything about his ability.

    I always thought he should have been Sir Trevor Francis....I think he deserved it.

    R.I.P. Trevor...

    And the genius of Clough had him making the teas for the rest of the team at half time in the next game

    I was a bit disgusted with the SSN coverage. Had Mbappe as the main story despite Francis being an ex employee.
