EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the moment when football history was made as Trevor Francis, a striker for Birmingham City Football Club, became the first British player to be transferred for one million pounds. The image shows Francis in his Birmingham City kit, a determined look on his face as he prepares to take the field. The background is filled with the passionate fans of Birmingham City, their faces a mix of excitement and anticipation. Francis' career began in 1970 when he joined Birmingham City as a trainee. Over the next seven years, he would make a name for himself as a prolific goalscorer, netting 88 goals in 172 appearances for the club. In 1977, his talent did not go unnoticed, and Brian Clough, manager of Nottingham Forest, made a then-record-breaking offer of one million pounds to bring Francis to his team. The move marked a new chapter in Francis' career, and he would go on to score 38 goals in 79 appearances for Nottingham Forest. Francis' career spanned an impressive 25 years and five different clubs, including QPR, Swansea City, Coventry City, and Aston Villa. He earned 21 caps for the England national team and scored six goals. His legacy extends beyond his impressive statistics, as he is remembered as a trailblazer for British football, paving the way for future high-value transfers. This photograph is a testament to Francis' impact on the game and serves as a reminder of the excitement and passion that surrounds football. It is a must-have for any collection of football memorabilia and a reminder of the rich history of the beautiful game.
