Francis had a distinguished career that started with his Birmingham City debut at 16. Brian Clough's Forest then paid more than £1m to buy Francis in February 1979. In his first season, his goal against Malmö secured the European Cup. A statement from his family said: 'Trevor Francis has died at the age of 69. He had a heart attack at his apartment in Spain'.
