Family Problems

A member of his close family was very ill so he could only do a very hours here and there to help out when last at Bristol Rovers. He still got very good results from a terrible team that he inherited.

Now he's back in football. Pulis, Holloway, Kinnear etc etc. all know that Francis is one of the very best in the game.
