Trevor Francis, RIP

[Anatoli]

True Forest legend.
Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

 

[Captain Sinister]

Only with us for 2 years, but one of the most influential and gifted players I ever had the privilege to see.
Saw him once at St James's Park, Exeter, when Forest played a friendly; and many times in and out of the country.
I am sure he will recover.

From Lineker on Twitter: BBC Sport reporting Trevor Francis is doing well after his heart scare and is hoping to be home within a week #goodnews

Sounds promising

Excellent - keep strong Trevor.

Did the stadium announcer give a get well soon to Trev?

First Forest game I saw was May 1980 v Palace when we won 4-0 and Trev was carried off in a wheelbarrow having done his cruciate, just weeks before the European Cup Final. Get well soon Trevor!!

Not meaning to sound pedantic but I think it was his achilles heel he injured.

Unconfirmed reports that he may have passed away

If so RIP Trevor, before my time but still scored one of the greatest goals in our history.

Iconic.

Very very sad if true

One of our greatest players

Viv Anderson said it on Instagram apparently but there's nothing anywhere else, except the usual types spreading it.

That was 45 mins ago and there's nothing official.

I can't imagine Viv would make it up, but that is where I got the information from.

 

[Flaggers]

Could we please hold on this thread pending Official news, thanks...

 

[Notcher]

Viv Anderson has posted it so unfortunately it seems legitimate

Yeah me neither. Spreads like wildfire these days.

 

[RianBrice]

God bless Trev and family.

This is where it started on twitter, not he hasn't posted since saying he's trying to find out for sure. WHY post if you haven't verified it?

 

[Quntib Hollox]

this is really sad news. I’m guessing the first of the miracle men to pass.
RIP King Trev

I think we all know the answer to that. He's put a picture on now but again, doesn't mean it's verified.

RIP. Sad day indeed.

Another part of my youth slips away.

RIP Trevor.

Thanks for the goals and the memories.
