The papers are all reporting it now.

 

[Littlesue]

[chrismpw]

Itv-x reporting it. Quite a shocker that. I always remember how he talked about the boy line-acre.
RIP Trev.

 

[Littlesue]

Remember when he won player of the year and Cloughie presented him with it on stage and told him to "get his hands out of his pockets"

Well thst has brought a tear to my eyes.
Came across as decent.
Remember queuing for tickets at the main stand bit.
Cheeky Trev was in front of me.
I was star struck.
Anyway someone behind me shouted "any seats left?"
Trevor turned around and reirplied " no,there all gone".
Imagine the prima donnas of today queuing or even passing on that message......

Then your memory is dodgy Chris, that was Mike Channon

 

[PITA]

Just been watching an interview he gave about winning the European Cup and all he really wanted to talk about was how great John Robertson was.

Duncan McKenzie always tells the story about when Trevor Francis signed for Forest.
Brian Clough - "Whenever you get the ball, just pass to John Robertson"
Francis - "but you've just paid a million quid for me. Why do you want me to always pass it to him?"
Clough - "Because young man, John Robertson is a far better footballer than you will ever be" lol

Lost his wife to breast cancer a few years back to if I remember
