Tributes have been paid from across football to the former England forward Trevor Francis, Britain’s first £1m player and the scorer of a European Cup-winning goal for Nottingham Forest, after he died at the age of 69.
Birmingham City, the club where Francis began his professional career and spent 15 years as a player and later a manager, described him as “the player everyone wanted to see”. Forest called Francis a “true legend who will never be forgotten”.
