Former England striker Trevor Francis is dead
Former England forward Trevor Francis has died aged 69 after suffering a heart attack in Spain.
In 1979 he became Britain’s first £1m footballer when he moved from Birmingham City to Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest.
He won two European Cups with Forest – in 1979, when he scored the winner against Malmo, and 1980.
Francis also won 52 England caps, scoring 12 goals, before embarking on a managerial career.
A statement released on behalf of his family said: “This has come as a huge shock to everybody. We are all very upset.
“He was a legendary footballer but he was also an extremely nice person.”
