Gerry Francis

Was shocked yesterday how the former England captain looked yesterday,he looked a tired old shambling man,as they came out for the second half he could hardly walk,did anyone else notice how bad he looked.

Looked like he was struggling to walk back to the dugout after half time.
Probably a result of getting battered every week by hatchet men in the 70's and 80's.

Yes he looked old and seemed to have a limp
In his QPR days he played at Turf Moor and was a great player

Both Francis & Bilic looked to be suffering from their playing days rather badly :(
