‘A magical figure’: Trevor Francis on being the first £1m player, 40 years on
Didn't realise that Cov were the only other club willing to spend £1m on him when Forest bought him.

What's the opinion on Francis? Was he considered worth the £1m??

He had a slow start and Clough often used him on the right wing regularly. He did however, score the winner in the European Cup final which I suppose justified the fee.
He suffered with injuries after that before moving on.
Is he??? What's he done to deserve that ?Utter ballbag now.
Clough seemed to have a big problem with expensive or high profile players, (might seem an obvious thing to say given what happened at Leeds).
Men's toilets?I once rammed into the back of Justin Fashanu

Or a stadium"Only two clubs had pockets deep enough to match Birmingham’s asking price: Forest and Coventry City."
Now we don't have pockets. Or trousers
Clough (allegedly) agreed to join us from Derby as JH's replacement.Hadn't Francis agreed to join us, until Clough hijacked the deal, or am I thinking of somebody else?

There was nothing legally binding just a spoken 'gentlemans agreement'.

Think I read that somewhere but can't remember where. It wasn't long ago that i read it either.He from what I’ve read he was using it to gain leverage at Derby and had no real intention of joining us
It was before he joined Derby.Clough (allegedly) agreed to join us from Derby as JH's replacement.

Supposedly a choice between us and Derby when he was at Hartlepool. Derby bottom of Div 2 we'd just been promoted to Div 1.
From what I know hill liked him as a replacement Derrick Robbins didn't like his personal style - mouthy, arrogant etc. Didn't think he was right for 1st season in Div 1.

My father used to go to see Birmingham play quite often and he raved about Trevor Francis.What's the opinion on Francis? Was he considered worth the £1m??
Talks utter shite and was particularly biases against us when he used to be on Sky.
Someone suggested it was because he got the sack on at least one occasion after defeats to city but I've never checked and to be honest, I still wouldn't be able to tolerate him either way.
In other words , you just don't like him based on heresay. He hasn't actually done anything to be considered a ball bag.
To be honest I cant even remember him being on Sky in a game involving us. How long ago are we talking?Which part of him being biased against us on Sky are you struggling with?!

Blimey, that's a long time to hold a grudge. Are you sure you're not a Sunderland fan?years ago, when we were in the prem, I'd say mid 90s.
