Thanks for the memories Trevor Francis and Chris Bart-Williams, your legacy will live on, writes srigley
And forgive my indulgence but I wanted to pay my own tribute to Trevor Francis and Chris Bart-Williams. Two of the people who gave me some of the happiest memories of my life as a Wednesdayite.Yes, he was a legend of the game but this was an exciting new decade. Francis may have been Britain's first million-pound footballer but that was more than a decade ago.
He was among the substitutes in 1991 when Wednesday lifted the league club by beating Manchester United at Wembley. Clearly gutted at not playing, Francis put his personal disappointment to one side to celebrate with the rest of the team and us adoring fans. Third in the league, two cup finals at Wembley, European competition. It was a great time to be a Wednesdayite.
