The halcyon days at Hillsborough
What a team we had back then
Hirst, Francis, Walker, Waddle, Palmer, Woods
All internationals or ex international.
RIP Tricky Trev

Let's hope he hasn't got his hands in his pockets when he meets Mr clough again RIP good player.

Saw him for England at Hampden.  Stand out.  Seemed a decent human being too.  Always liked watching him.  R.I.P.

Makes you wonder whether the extreme temperatures lately had anything to do with it.

From BBC report :
Francis spent half the year in Spain and the rest in Solihull. He suffered a heart attack 11 years ago and had kept himself fit since with daily power walks.

He had an annual health check through the League Managers' Association and, according to his spokesman, was "enjoying life very much".

I don't know why people are so obsessed with so-called power walks.  A gentle walk is just as beneficial.

Local Sunday league side asked him for a signed photo for their end of season presentation night raffle, he wrote back saying no can do, so they raffled the letter instead.

That seems very poor, and not in keeping with his nice bloke image. Did he say why not?

Presumably, he spent half a year in Spain for the hotter temperatures?

I am surprised he made a reasonable fist of management as he never really appeared tough enough for that side of things.

Doesn’t surprise me most of them think they are the Risen

So you get 10's of letters each week for signed photos. Do they give the players any money ?

Charity Howard charity son

So if you ask Mbape for an autograph you need to throw in a tenner for his trouble?

cash wise we are going back a bit remember footballer's were paid buttons in TF's days

Would he not have got a few % of the million pound transfer fee?

We all die ffs

Sad irony [formy will disagree the mad fooker] that Chris Bart-Williams who played with Trevor at Sheff weds in the early 90s also died on the same day as Trevor

Former Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest midfielder Chris Bart-Williams has died aged 49.
Sheffield Wednesday announced he had died in the United States, where he was a coach and mentor.
