RIP Chinaman

Long battle against cancer.

I never knew that Soho. Very sad.
Always came across as a nice guy and could hit a ball considering they weren’t like today’s lightweight ones. RIP

Sorted old bite yer legs Hunter out anyway.
Good racehorse trainer as well.

 

[Charnyst]

He could take a penalty what a shot he had on him RIP

Good racehorse trainer as well.

They just don't make 'em anymore like Francis Lee, sadly. Skilful, pugnacious, intelligent, and with four different careers - footballer, manager/club owner, entrepreneur (bog roll magnate), racehorse trainer.

One of THE great players from my youth. Very saddened to hear of his passing. RIP.

Such a dominant character, in every sense, that I couldn’t help resenting his contribution in the cause of other teams. Kellard and Carlin were perhaps our nearest equivalent, in the early seventies, but even combined, they struggled to match Franny Lee’s impact on a game. RIP.

When footballers were men not pampered pansies. RIP
