    RIP Francis Lee

    What a tough and great player he was.

    RIP Franny as he was known.

    Some old footage very grainy as it was from the 60's and 70's but he had a great centre of low gravity and he could 'hit' a ball.

    Saddened to hear this - always loved watching him on the TV - watching again I'd forgotten how good he was - impressive goals to games return at club and national level.

    Thanks for the memories Francis RIP

    Very sad. RIP Francis.

    Some good footage above, when you see some of the pitches these players were performing on makes it even more incredible.

    RIP Franny

    This short clip epitomises why the game seemed much more exciting 50 years ago than it is today.

    "Interesting, very interesting. Look at his face. Just look at his face."
