On This Day: April 19th

Last updated : 20 April 2004 By Brian Cartlidge

Born on 19th April 1954 Francis is still a cult figure at St Andrews despite his failures to get Blues into The Premiership during his six years as manager.

Regarded by many as the best player ever to don the Royal Blue shirt, Francis made 330 appearances for Blues scoring 133 goals during his spell as a player between 1970 and 1979.

Happy Birthday Trev and thanks for the memories.

Results on this day include a 2-0 win against Charlton at The Valley last season.
