    The most iconic and important player in the history of Birmingham City Football Club. This one hurts, if only we won that trophy in 2001 against Liverpool. I hope one of the stands is named after him in his honour. R.I.P. to the first £1m man in English football. KRO.

    Trevor lived just down the road from me in Pennycross Plymouth, his sister Caroline was a year older than me , Trevor was a true gentleman and a very homely good man , he always came back to Plymouth and visit his mum and dad in his White XJS Jaguar with his family. a great man indeed who always loved his home city although he never played for Argyle at a pro l level due to being a world class player all his footballing career . RIP Trevor a true legend that will forever be remembered forever.

    I was there on Tilton Road end when Trevor played this first games for Birmingham City. A really great player and prolific goal scorer in those days. Trevor will always be a hero in the Birmingham fans minds. RIP Trevor.

    I remember Trevor Francis as a young player for Birmingham, running from the half way line beating most of my team, Bristol City, and scoring the winner! A great, great player and very sad news!

    Bob Latchford came to see blues train and Trevor played in the practice game. Blues were at the top end of the table then. Trevor was 44 then according to Bob. After a while Bob whispered in one of coach's ear 'He the best player on the pitch'. The coach answered back. 'I know'.

    I know my comment is 9 months late but I just want to say Brian Clough sold Trevor Francis too soon..he could have gone on to greater things at Nottingham Forest no disrespect to Birmingham City Trevor's first club..as all Forest fans all know after Forest retained the European Cup in 1980 Brian Clough broke the team up..a couple of years later Clough had young players in the team Steve Hodge Peter Davenport to name two along some experienced players Ian Bowyer rejoined Forest from Sunderland who went on to captain Forest they done very well Trevor Francis would have loved it
    Trevor you are truly missed by me and every forest fan in the world R.I.P...

    Very good player but well over hyped. Always injured. Never the same when he left Birmingham. Brian Clough was joke, his transfer value was more like 350 000. Here come all the eulogys. He was very good but as I say overrated.

      That 'Over hyped player' won Forest a European cup. He was purchased to help Forest achieve that, and he did. Can't put a price on that! Guessing your're a Birmingham fan upset he left. Show some respect ffs.
