ALL at Rangers Football Club are today saddened to hear of the passing of our former player Trevor Francis, at the age of 69.
The forward, who was signed by Graeme Souness in 1987, made 25 appearances for the club.
During his time in Glasgow, Francis lifted the League Cup in season 1987/88 scoring a penalty in the 5-3 shoot-out victory over Aberdeen.
Starting his career at Birmingham City, Francis made history in 1979 as he became Britain’s first £1 million footballer when he moved to Nottingham Forest, and went on to score the winner for Forest in a historic European Cup Final against Malmo that year.
The England international enjoyed an impressive career also featuring for Manchester City, Sampdoria, Atalanta, Queen’s Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday.
Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
