Re: Franny Lee Archived Message Posted by Bilby on 3/10/2023, 1:12:16, in reply to "Re: Franny Lee" When I moved to Stockport, Hazel Grove actually, in 1967 from Cumbria after 5+ years locked up in a Dickensian boarding school I was desperate to see any football and went to any game I could in Stockport or up the road. I was lucky to see City win the title that year including that last game at Newcastle 3-4. I had first seen Franny Lee at Carlisle in 1965/6 playing for Bolton in a 1-1 draw. At City he was everything a Number 9 needed to be, fearless, bustling and tireless. He scored one the best goals I have ever seen that season- a volley from about 25 yards on the end of an outswinging corner- perfection. We oldies know that Jim 'Pancho' Fryatt was the greatest header of a ball we have ever seen anywhere. Well Franny had the hardest shot I think I have ever seen. Real net busters. I have stated before that my biggest regret in football was that season. I went to see City v West Ham in order to pay respects to 3 of the England World Cup winners and missed County beating Bristol Rovers 3 -1 with Pancho scoring a hat trick of headers. RIP Franny Who can forget these: Message Thread: Franny Lee - Fuzzbox 2/10/2023, 16:33:51 Re: Franny Lee - Froggy 3/10/2023, 13:36:35 Re: Franny Lee - dosser jacket 2/10/2023, 18:45:16 Re: Franny Lee - jonnyquango 2/10/2023, 17:23:30 Re: Franny Lee - Mustafapoint 2/10/2023, 21:53:56 Re: Franny Lee - Bilby 3/10/2023, 1:12:16 Re: Franny Lee - dosser jacket 3/10/2023, 8:25:00 Re: Franny Lee - Bilby 3/10/2023, 8:51:11 Re: Franny Lee - dosser jacket 3/10/2023, 12:02:08 Re: Franny Lee - 4 memories - zalby57 3/10/2023, 4:53:36 Re: Franny Lee - 4 memories - Halfbreed 3/10/2023, 11:02:02 Re: Franny Lee - 4 memories - Fuzzbox 3/10/2023, 11:13:27 Re: Franny Lee - 4 memories - Luis Cavaco 3/10/2023, 12:09:11 Re: Franny Lee - 4 memories - DownUnderHatter 3/10/2023, 13:19:56   Searching
