Franny Lee

Sigama.

Great character very sad

Saw him in a restaurant in Portugal a few years back,had to take a second look as he looked so well.

Sad, RIP Franny

Was @ the Baseball ground as a 15 year old kid that day when him and Norman turned to fisticuffs. Think they even started again after being both sent off on walk to tunnel.

Those old enough Geoff will never forget that where granny get that from

Hello ribero

When Doncaster was a great place to go racing we would always have a few drinks with granny after racing in a pub at the mottram end of the woodhead pass at that time he had lost all interest in football.

A very good player in a good team to watch RIP.

RIP Franny, a good hard old fashioned striker, scared of nobody, will be able to go for round 3 with bites your legs now.

Just looked him up on the internet it says people who searched this also searched Colin bell,Mike summerbee,Mike Doyle and Norman hunter

Hi Jimnast,yes I can imagine that was fun,I always remember Sigama with Steve Perks on board,very fast sprinter 4 .5 furlongs would have been ideal.

Franny Lee -

Made his Football League debut alongside the likes of - England Goalkeeper - Eddie Hopkinson - and, also England Inside-forward, the talented Freddie Hill.

Not being a soccer follower have to admit using google to know anything about him but a mate on my forum posted a link for his final league game on the road , his team won 2-6 apparently and he scored two very late goals.

No betting investigation as far as i know 

Is there a possibility he kept pigeons

Or was that Trevor Francis

Loved the "Square go" with Norman

Morning Ribs When you seen F Lee in Portugal was The Place called Quinta do Lagos COYS

Not far from there Sevey,a restaurant called Paixa just outside Vale de Lobo,he probably had a villa out there?

Thanks for your reply met him in the square inQuinta do Lagos next to the Bar called The Melting Pot We all used to go down to a Bar called Monties in Vale do Lobo Big West Ham man called Ian looked after the Place

We stay at the hotel up the road from Montys Dona Felipa,been going for about 20 years,know The Melting Pot in the square,there's a better gaff in the square now,the old Irish pub has been done out and it's called The Cheeky Pup very popular,we went a couple of times this summer.

Back in the 60s there was an advert on itv e for b and Georgie best ,the city fans started singing e for b and franny lee,anybody remember what they were advertising?

I'll have a guess Jimnast Eggs?

That’s correct ribero I had bet 11/10 on each of two you or sparrow getting that.

Good letter by the way

Thanks Jimnast although it was edited and a couple of the best bits left out,I see there's a piece in the post today about the Sanderson tracks,also it was bookies AGM sunday and the BHA's Richard Wayman came which you have to give him credit for even if you don't agree with him,it looks as though some fudging has been done already and some weeks there will be 4 meetings in the window.

I’ll nip in the betting shop and read todays post as I don’t buy it every day.

They always seem to edit a bit but to be fair they do print most ,I’ve only ever had one not printed.

Lee vs Hunter...
