The best player we have ever had.

Was privileged to watch Francis, Hatton,Latchford, Burns, Kendall..so many ex Blues greats. Francis was a step above any we ever have had. Opposition teams tried every time they came down to mark the danger man out of the game, couldn't be done. KRO

What a legend this man is and there will never be anyone better at the club

Great interview, really miss Tom Ross on the radio it's never been the same since 😢 KRO

Great interview. Trevor is a legend. So many memories. I was privileged to be there on Feb 20 1971. I had the good fortune to meet Trevor twice. The first time was at a Moseley Cricket Club charity fundraiser and the second was at Detroit airport in 1994 when Trevor was in the USA commenting on the World Cup for ITV with Brian Moore. Trevor is a gentleman, a super nice person.

We will always love you Trevor.

love him to be manager again we played lovely passing football under Trevor

Didn’t miss a single game home or away when Francis was at Sheffield Wednesday, he was still class at 38. RIP.

My hero Trev I'm heart broken there will only be one Trevor Francis in my life, thanks for the momories Trevor, RIP MY HERO

What a legend and lovely man Trevor Francis was. I feel privileged to of seen him play, great days. RIP❤️⚽️

The greatest Birmingham player ever ......it will never be in doubt..

He became a Detroit Sports Legend in 2 seasons! I was blessed to see every home match in those 2 seasons! And I then became a real ⚽️ football fan, because of him!

Trevor Francis - a hero for Blues sadly before I was born - I would've loved so much to have been there in that era KRO

Goosebumps throughout Blues through and though And a hat trick at VP love it

RIP Trevor what a wonderful guy.

Seemed a very humble man . I’m a Forest fan so only ever knew what he did for us and then after. Didn’t realise how hero worshipped he was at Brum . Amazing what he did there and every club he went to. I’ve just read his autobiography and it’s one of the best if not the best I’ve read . Would of been interesting to see what he could of done as the England manager .😢❤😢

Great player great man and Tom not bad either ✨✨💙💙🇳🇮 KRO ALWAYS.

I was DEFINITELY at the game when he scored four. Best football match I ever watched!

Trevor Francis Legend as Player & Manager True Blue KRO 💙💙💙💙💙

He was the reason my dad took me to my first game, Trevor Francis a real legend of the game. I remember the free kick against Blackpool, it was towards the Tilton and it was my first floodlight game. I have lived now in Perth Australia but return often prior to Covid and follow the Blues where ever whilst I am in in the UK. My daughter was a mascot against Fulham when Lee Boyer scored the winner, that day I met Trevor Francis and reminded him about the Blackpool goal and my first game which was a 3-1 over Sunderland. TF did not score but hit the post twice. Magic times.

My childhood hero and this interview is a pure joy! I was at that Leeds semi final where we were outclassed and it broke my heart , a common theme as blue nose lol Trevor called that Leeds side best club side he had ever played against and who could argue with that! The Francis, Hatton and Latchford era will always be my best times as a Blues fan, with massive crowds, what a shadow of its for more glories it is these days, so sad to see. As you can see in this interview Trevor was a gentleman and somewhat shy , I know i am biased but I think we had his best years. RIP a true blues legend and gentleman.

RIP Trevor you will always be our Boy Wonder

The king of St Andrews. I saw Trev at an early age, in 1973, and he was the real deal. A girl who lived up the road from me, was going out with Trevor's son, so I asked about a signed photo, no problem, it has pride of place on my wall. Cheers Trev.

Tf Tf Trevor Francis is magic different class. Also burns Latchford and Hatton. Kro 💙

Excellent top man iconic at Birmingham city fc class.

What a player wish we had q half as good as him now my boyhood hero and blues legend

One of the Greats Happy days 😚

Trevor is an Absolute legend in every sense of the word, and more than that he’s a nice guy. Some Blues fans might disagree with me but check out his managerial stats for us, he never let us down despite not quite being able to reach the premier. He will always remain a hero to me...thanks Trev.

Francis.latchford.hatton....never be bettered

RIP Trvevor, from a Villa supporter. Respect

As a Boro fan , George Best was brilliant but ive only ever seen two players play us off the park on there own,we couldnt get near them ,absolutle unplayable ,one was Stan Bowles , the other Trevor Francis in his first season,both games at Ayresome Park.

SuperTrev. Only three years older than me. I'd been going to Standys since 1962 (my Uncle Bill took me up the Tiiton) I was up the Tilton then too. I took over my Uncle's place there. Joys & sorrows maybe but Trev will always remain with me. The service to the likes of Bob Latchford, Bob Latchford, Geoff Vowden & sometimes to players like Johnny Vincent and Alan Campbell. Always Blue, always my blueboys, with Trev., Great team. #KRO Thanks too, to our Tom. Sadly missed on our radios.

Trevor Francis my childhood hero for blues, one of a kind, incredible talent.!!!!!.......Tom radio legend and true bluenose. KRO

Trevor is a total gentleman, met him a few times in the pub and he will always give you the time of day fantastic bloke 👍 👏

Remember Mr Francis playing against my team Norwich at Carrow Rd fantastic player turned on a sixpence and hit the woodwork must have been 1978 I think Happy memories before the big money came in and ruined everything. Hope you stay up OTBC

God bless you Trev never seen you play but my Dad told me all the stories and ive seen the videos, my memorys of you are as our manager and them play offs and cup final this club loves you and will never forget you KRO!you are one of our own.

I was there that day, never forget it. Brilliant. They had to take you off at half time or those bolton thugs would have crippled you.

Best player and most valuable one too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was there.. at the age of 11 and I remember it all.. awesome 😀

Trevor, thank you for all the joy you have brought throughout your playing & managerial careeer. A true blue legend. I was just 13 yrears old, sat in the old Railway End of St. Andrews, on that day in February 1971 when you scored all four goals (as a 16 yr old) vs. Bolton; a day never to be forgotten! What memories - Keep Right On

Trev was a true great so loved by us Blues Fans. RIP Trev

Arise Sir Trevor...they were good years, get to the ground before 2.30 or else you wont get in, or if you get in it would be 20 minutes after the game started, Tom you were good too but for other reasons. God bless the both of you....Kro....

I was too young to see him play for Blues my first match being in 81 (4-3 v Forest) but I followed the legend and also became a Sampdoria fan. I don’t mind saying I cried full of sadness this week at the news of his passing. May he RIP with his beloved Helen. TF you will never be forgotten. A true great of the game and above that a wonderful, humble family man. KRO we love you forever and you will never be forgotten 💙

Smashing bloke as well. He deserved a longer life. Helen too. 🤗🤗

Still cannot believe Trevor has died. Trevor Francis Blues legend 19/04/54 to 24/07/23 KRO. RIP.

Blackpool 2-1 win and what a screamer by TF. 45k in Stan's for my first ever game with my dad - RIP. Love this bloke - true legend. KRO

One of the greatest to ever do it at my club

Legend!

The best manager Sheffield Wednesday had since Harry Catterick.

Still remember him in danish tv fantastic player

What a lovely interview. You're adored and revered here in Plymouth too Trev. Should've played for Argyle. lol

Imagine what could have been if he never left

Absolute legend and a nice guy to boot. Rest in peace Trev….gone far to soon ❤

Class player class Bloke 👍🇬🇧🇮🇹

two of the best you make an old man so happy kro

Ah Trevor me lad - I'm Birmingham born (but in America now) remember seeing you at St Andrews with your tune belting out "Trevor Francis walks on water lalalala... - MAGIC. Say cant you do something with the Blues - wish they could make the PL - then I could watch them on NBC Sport here in US.

Come back as manager please!

Imagine st peter, he has to tell his gaffer the real god has arrived ! ! Met the bloke numerous times , always pleasant , always approachable and quite simply the best footballer to wear a blue shirt . You will never be forgotten Trev , KRO

I was at the Arsenal youth cup game at Highbury the week after his 4 goals. I remember seeing Trevor outside the main entrance and he looked about 12 not 16. I also recall seeing Bob Latchford there supporting the team and Trevor was “less than average” in fact he played out on the right wing and barely got a touch. Arsenal went on to win the FA Youth cup that year, but we had Trevor, Kenny Burns and Joe Gallagher, better individuals than Arsenal.

Love this man away at wolves my first game at wolves Francis 1977

really good interview,trevor looks so well.had a lot of personal problems with losing his wife, is he now living in solihull , not spain anymore?

Trev, Burns and Latchford(bob) used to come into a coffee house(greasy spoon) in Maxstoke St, by the ground, and go upstairs to play the pinball machines. What a noisy lot they were🤣. I cant believe my hero's were two feet from me and I couldn't say a word,I was the same age as well, then come the weekend, I'd pay to stand in the Tilton and watch them. Happy days, thanks Trev, you are a gentleman

Such a gentleman and what a fantastic career.

My first game at St. Andrew's was '75 when Trev scored in a 2-1 win against top-of-the-table Derby, but one of my true highlights was seeing TF score that hat-trick for QPR against the Villa. I was in the Holte End biting my lip. Incognito. What a thrill.

We went to watch blues at Shrewsbury in an early kick off . On the way back we decided to go to villa park and ended up in the away end with the QPR fans . Watching trevor score his hat trick was a great memory.

should of played in many more england games pure quality trevor was

Sad news today. RIP Mr Francis 😔

King Trev my football hero man and boy ,KRO

A pure talent a gent a credit to football so sorry he lost wife so young

Rest in peace Trevor, KRO,Glasgow Bluenose.

remember Trevor from the Rocket pup in duddeston

I wonder 'if' any footballers are effected by 'this' blood products issue God bless Trevor, Nottingham Forest owes him 'a' million thanks.!

I also thought he was a good passionate manager

Trevor had a great apprenticeship in those days. At the end of that season Hull came to the blues on Easter Monday. Player manager Terry Neil kicked Trevor up in the air from start to finish and Trevor never moaned, he got on with it. I wonder what the stars of today would do in that brutal era?

RIP LEGEND

He was lucky to be in such a good team,wonder how be would get on with this current lot?

Tell Em Dave sent ya!!!!! 😂😂😂

Rip. 😊sha😊ll never forget the European Cup forest w?winning finals

Trevor Francis notmeged Dave Mackay the steam roller 🤣👍🏻

Tricky Trev bless him starting to resemble Jasper Carrot !!

There's always a Silly Villa Fan there to give you the only down mark. KRO

RIP

Kinda an Only Fools and Horses Question here but. Was there ever actually a Trevor Francis Tracksuit?

Wonder when and who brought this great old club down ,when as we can hear with this presentation blues had top players big crowds ,looking from outside in and including couple of seasons ago,you came to Bloomfield road blackpool and we beat you 6 1 ,and I thought still this massif club is still down and with once living in sheldon with ex girlfriend,for ten years and here and there met a few good lads ,hope your club gets the owner it deserves soon kro.

God. Just God

Wot a generally lovely man not just cuz he all ways stuffed them girles down the road but a ACE PLAYER 100% a wot woud he be waeth now????? Oh RIP BIG T you was a GOD....😅 kRO.....

The only success [ player ] Birmingham has had.... He was free and was sold for 1M to Nottingham forest. you can't really state that Bellingham was another... based on time. Francis had Nine years at St Andrew's Bellingham had one. This Won't happen again.

Not as much of a hero for blues as he is for forest
