Pitch perfect Jon. I'm just a tad younger, so maybe prime age to idolise Trev and maybe that's why it's taken me a day or so to feel like commenting. Spoke to my parents (now in their 90's) on hearing the news and, while dad's memory is generally a bit wonky these days, he still gushed as he so clearly recalled the trademark TF shoulder drop and diagonal run from out wide. He also remembers a game against West Ham with Brooking repeatedly shouting "watch Francis!" to his team mates.
Mum recalled dad taking me and my elder brother to a reserve game that TF (and I believe Dave Latchford - must have been 71 or 72) played in and how even though I was a real nipper at the time I became obsessed with both Blues and Trev.
Absolutely gutted.
(By the way Jon a belated thankyou/congrats for Hugging Strangers - a beautiful book.)
