Tributes have been paid to one of Manchester City’s greatest players after the former striker and chairman Francis Lee died at the age of 79.
Lee became a legend at Maine Road, where spent eight years as a player, joining City from home town club Bolton Wanderers in 1967 for a club-record £60,000. During his time at City, he won the First Division title in 1968, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup, scoring 148 goals in 330 appearances.
