LEE MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
THERE is a photo of Francis Lee standing on the perimeter wall of the Gallowgate End at St James' Park celebrating the goal that made Manchester City champions.
For supporters of a certain vintage, it is an iconic image. One that should be a permanent part of the Etihad.
Colin Bell has a stand named after him. Mike Summerbee is a club ambassador who still feels the love for Joe Mercer's brilliant team at home games.
Lee, the third member of the trinity who helped City win the league, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup in the space of three glorious seasons, has died aged 79.
Born in Bolton, he was a 5ft 7in barrel-chested ball of energy who could play anywhere up front.
