RIP Trevor. Without doubt one of, if not THE GREATEST player to wear the famous royal blue shirt. A class act both on and off the pitch. Gone but never forgotten, forever a legend at St Andrews 💙

Trevor lost his wife a couple of years ago , May they both RIP together .

RIP Trevor from a Forest fan. I'm sure he always looked for Birmingham results first. What a top bloke and a Legend of the game.

RIP to a true legend. Gone but will never be forgotten.

RIP Trevor, from a Palace fan. Great player and a gentleman.

A sad loss. From Glasgow Rangers fan,sleep easy....an old school legend.

I can still remember clips of Trevor scoring fantastic goals to the sound of ELO's Strange Magic on TV.

Brilliant player will be sorely missed r.i.p from me and all Glasgow Rangers fans ❤️🤍💙

Forest fan here, I’m truly gutted. What a player. A True Legend. RIP❤️❤️

RIP not only club legend but england hero, you will be missed by all of us

I had the pleasure of seeing both my childhood hero's Trevor and Kenny Burns play for the blues back in the 70's as a teenager. Losing Trevor today has depressed me beyond words. Thank you Trevor for the many happy memories of my youth seeing you play at St Andrews. Rest in peace Trevor, a wonderful player and a wonderful gentleman.

This is very upsetting.I saw him make his debut for Blues. Got the same feeling on hearing Barry Sheene had past away in 2003. both heroes to me as a youngster.

Rest in peace trevor a true legend of the game

his feet could be on any pitch in the world but his heart belong to saint andrews RIP TREVOR

As a kid, I had the honour of watching Trevor play on many, many occasions. The man was a genius and the greatest player I ever saw in a Blues shirt. He will be very sadly missed. Thank you Trevor for everything you gave to the City of Birmingham. Rest in Peace.

A true gentleman and fantastic footballer. Greatest respect from an Albion supporter.

Few people in life make a real difference. Trevor inspired and overwhelmingly treated us all with his talents. Memories plated with gold. My thanks.

The best player I ever saw in a Blues shirt. Thank you Trevor. :)

Million pound player who was worth every penny, genuinely a wonderful footballer and manager. Legend everywhere he went. RIP from the toon army and the whole of the football family everywhere.

Rest easy 😢🙏🏻 from an Evertonian 💙

FRANCIS, LATCHFORD, HATTON.......Those were the days and I even loved the Penguin Kit! 😔 Thanks for the memories Trevor, I am heartbroken. KRO

RIP Trevor❤❤❤❤❤from an Aston villa and Blues fan.

RIP Trevor, forever our king! Player, manager, Legend!

Leeds fan here. I remember his first season as , I think, a 16 year old, when he scored lots of goals Such very sad news.

Rip legend great memories of seeing you play .once a blue always a blue.proper gentleman kro💙💙💙💙

RIP TF Always a God at Blues and Always will be ... That will never Change KRO and Rest Sir 😥 Sad Day... Blues should name a stand after Him or get a Statue Erected ASAP ... Come on Blues We wanna see it

Rest in Peace Trevor. Taken from us too soon. You are a Birmingham City Legend who will never be forgotten . A great player and manager. A gentleman. We will miss you. Sincere condolences to your family

I was lucky enough to watch him make his debut, what a strike force Francis , Latchford , and Hatton were with Gordon Taylor on the wing Francis will always be remembered and i thank the football gods i saw him play so many times for my beloved club KRO

Got a lump in my throat!! What a true blues legend!! RIP friend 😢

A childhood hero to me and every Blues fan of our generation, rest east Trev 💙

A remarkable player who saved the club financially and a great manager who gave myself and lots of close friends some amazing days out. Big loss to BCFC / NFFC / England and the footballing community. RIP Sir Trevor Francis 💙🤍💙🤍

One of the most important players in modern English football history. I never followed his progress but remember his impact as a 17 year old (Hatton and Francis was a great double act) making me believe I could make it as a young footballer. I also remember his contributions to the Tiger and Scorcher comic where he shared his knowledge and experience with us young kids (his friendly rivalry with the other star contributor, Malcolm MacDonald was great to read). Trevor always struck me as well grounded, not afraid to be controversial and a player who was indispensible to the clubs (and country) he played for. To Forest fans (I support Charlton) he will always be remembered with affection and probably scored the most important goal in their history. God bless you and your family and friends. You will never be forgotten in the football fraternity. He will always be linked to BCFC and I send my wholehearted condolences to the club and fans for the loss of someone so special to you all.

He played at a time when the only league and cup football we got to see (apart from the FA Cup final) was selected highlights on Match of the Day and the ITV regional programmes. These clips are a taster of what Trevor Francis could do.

What a lovely player he was ....and a true gentleman.... even when he was a young man .....bless u Brummie Brother ❤

RIP Trevor, Birmingham City Legend 💙💙

I was there for his first home match and goal. RIP. Bluenose

That brought a tear, was lucky enough to be in attendance to some of those games

Thank you for just being you RIP Trevor Francis!

A real legend, retiring his shirt isn’t enough!😢😢😢😢😢

Remember seeing him play in a fa youth cup 1/4 final versus Tottenham at Stans, Souness was in the Tottenham side, 2 best players on the pitch by a country mile. Thanks for the memories Wonderboy RIP 😢😢😢😢😢

Best player for Birmingham of all time in my opinion. Watched pretty much every home game he ever played its sad so many of his amazing goals were never captured on camera because he scored some pretty amazing ones. Latchford , Hatton, Francis, Taylor and later Burns probably the best forward line I ever saw at St Andrews.

RIP Trevor Francis , a great player for Birmingham City , Nottingham Forest and England 🇬🇧 , he won 2 European Cups with Nottingham Forest in 1979 and 1980 , scoring the winning goal against Malmo when Nottingham Forest won their First European Cup in Munich in 1979

Sat here crying my eyes out. R.I.P Trev, truly our greatest. KRO.

Absolute Legend at BCFC and Forest also KRO Trevor Francis. RIP. Gave me some moments as a fan watching you play and the success you brought us as a manager.

Was not Born to see such a class player but wished i was Rip Trevor Francis you was the Best Sad day 😢

Always a gentlemen and thanks for the memories

Bloody hell this is a hard one to take 😢

Such a skilled player. A true legend. RIP

I remember him bursting onto the scene for England and his pace was electric. Having lived around Brum for 30 years I know how much he meant to Blues fans. I saw him out and about and he was a proper gentleman, not engrained with hatred for other clubs like many fans and ex-players we see today. Full respect for you as a player and as a man, from this Manchester United supporter. KRO Trevor 💙

R.I.P 💙

Huddersfield Town fan here. Saddened to hear the news. He was a brilliant player on and off the pitch.

One word. LEGEND!!!!

They had to get that clip in of him emotional with AJ after he missed the penalty against Liverpool in the Worthington Cup final always gets me that. We never quite moved forward after that match and should of had a blatant penalty in extra time. Absolute legend TF no matter where he was raised or where he played after he left for Forest he had royal blue blood in his veins and will always be the most iconic, stylish and class player ever to have graced the St Andrews pitch. RIP TF Frank Worthingtons been up the bar and left you one in Sir. KRO 👏🏻

RIP Trevor , football legend

First went down to St Andrews in 1976. Legend..Rip trev

God bless you,Trevor. KRO.

Class personified, on and off the pitch. Love you Trevor, KRO X

Really sad news! Trevor will be remembered for his football and his lovely disposition. My brother and father huge Birmingham fans will be choked , but, he will always be " boy wonder"

Very modern player for his time. rest in peace

As a kid first saw Trevor from the Railway End when he was only a few years older then me What a player and what a gentleman Today is a sad day but it has bought back some good memories RIP TF

RIP Trevor, a true legend, gone but never forgotten, always in our hearts KRO 💙

Always sad to hear of the passing of a legendary player, but I also always feel so lucky to have seen them play. Saw Trevor Francis play as a fan of a rival club on several occasions, the first time in 1974, when my Dad took me to a game at St Andrews. Francis had a reputation as a major talent & became a household name long before he became the first million pound player.

May he rests in peace! What a player

Fine footballer… RIP
