Manchester City club legend Franny Lee has passed away, with manager Pep Guardiola joining his chairman in paying tribute to the former England international.
Manchester City are enjoying their current successes thanks to players like Franny Lee, Pep Guardiola says.
Earlier on Tuesday, City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "Francis will always be remembered as one of Manchester City’s greats. His critical contribution to the Club’s unprecedented success in the 60s and 70s was characterised by flair, dynamism and excitement. "His passing will sadden not only those connected to Manchester City, but the wider football family. On behalf of everyone at the Club, our thoughts, thanks, and deepest sympathies are with Francis’ family and friends."
