RIP Trevor Francis. A very nice player for Birmingham as I remember, they paid a record £1m for him.

Brilliant player. I remember him and Woodcock up front for England.

RIP.

[Jules]

Quite a shock this one. Great player in his day and very well known as a manager and pundit too. RIP.

Seems weird to think of that young man who was the first million pound player passing with a heart attack. Thanks for the memories young man because to many of us you always will be.

[Information]

Seems strange that the first million pound player dies on the day where a club bids 259m for a player !!

[Andy S]

In a world where players look after themselves for at least the first 40 years of their lives and more as good habits last a lifetime. How can ex players die in this way,this young? And somebody else not in as good health live a lot longer.

[Fulham Tup North]

   Very sad... I remember him playing and all the fuss about him being worth £1m... that looks so cheap now! RIP Trevor.

[Fulham33]

Played against us in the semi final 75

[HV71]

Will always remember the header that won the European Cup in Munich against Malmo  - RIP
