Trevor Francis has a heart attack

I was 5 years younger than him when I had mine.

I bought one of his tracksuits once

Spoiler:

how old would he be now?

He's 57, Eric. I actually worked it out in the car before they told us, which gave me a bit of perverse "quiz question" pride (he was a boy wonder 16-year-old when he first turned out for Birmingham in 1970/71)

i DO wonder about stars of the past.
would make great tv imo.
where they are.
if not dead.
how they live etc.

Stan Bowles lives in a bedsitter in Hammersmith and exists on benefits.
There's a start.

i think a lot of them do mate.
a pop star turned up,
working the pumps at a petrol station near me not so long back.

great when you've got it eh?

prime example being beckam,
but then he has posh.
thick as two short planks or what?

That was always on the cards though, wasn't it? He'd either lose it all gambling or win big and then lose it all.

David Johnson works for Liverpool now but spent a fair bit of time in insurance, which can come as a surprise when you see him in the office and you want to say "didn't you win 8 England caps, scoring 6 goals?"
