Henrycav81 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I was 9 when we signed him and thought why have we signed him he’s past it, how wrong was I for two seasons he was superb and was a big part in us winning the league in 1975. When he wasn’t fighting with Norman Hunter he played with a smile on his face. RIP Eric the half a ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two seasons with us before retiring. Once a Ram forever a Ram🐏 RIP Franny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB SPORTS Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) RIP FRANNY. You get the impression that everything he did in life was done with utter commitment zest and hard work. A man who had success with everything he touched be it playing football, administering football, training racehorses or manufacturing toilet roll. He probably never wasted a day in his life, that last game at Ipswich away, along with that goal at Man City and the fracas with Hunter will live with me forever. Cheers Franny Thank you for the memories. Edited October 2, 2023 by I DONT MIND admira and scout's dad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I was at that last game v Ipswich when Franny scored two goals. Glad I got to see him play. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poynton ram Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Frannie’s funeral today. Mate linked to City knew him v well. Had forgotten about the “look at his face” goal v City, what a strike and the celebration afterwards…..by the way when it kicked off with Hunter which Derby player floored Bremner?

DE56Ram Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 It’s Interesting,. . Very Interesting! I enjoyed it very much. I’m taking my copy to the next home game and passing it on. I’ll ask the recipient to do the same. Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 A legend of my time. Football has lost one of the good ones. So sad Saw him once at Manchester airport about 20 odd years ago .. business suit, big blue crombie overcoat, . I was waiting for my wife at arrivals. I thought I know him ! Gawped a bit, he saw the gawp gave us a wink and a grin. What a player and a cracking bloke by all accounts. “Simulation” ? Naaaa but he could go down 10 yards from the box and still make it look like a peno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
