00:00 Charlie, on to Birmingham City, obviously some really heartfelt news involving Trevor
00:06 Francis, a club legend really. Obviously won the European Cup with Nottingham Forest as
00:10 well, scored that goal. I mean, just an incredible football icon in this country and Blues fans
00:17 will certainly be feeling this one. What sort of tributes have been going on that you can
00:24 tell us about Trevor Francis?
00:25 Yeah, lots of tributes for Trevor Francis. Of course, known globally for his back-to-back
00:31 European wins at Nottingham Forest, over two and three years, but he started at Birmingham
00:36 City and he's seen as a god and nothing less really for by Blues. A club legend, arguably
00:43 the greatest player in Birmingham City history. There's been so many tributes put out from
00:48 the club to ex-players, to ex-managers. Of course, he did have a managerial spell at
00:53 St Andrews for about five or six years as well. So, such a key player, such a key figure
00:58 at the club. There's actually talks of him potentially at the age of 69 coming in and
01:03 having some sort of involvement with the new ownership. Of course, that won't happen now.
01:08 Tragic news, he did die over at a holiday home in Marbella, Spain. Also the first British
01:15 player to be sold for a £1 million transfer fee. So, historic player, someone who's created
01:21 such an impact on football in general and someone who we dearly missed.
