This unfortunately was the game in which Bobby had an ACL injury that ultimately destroyed his football career.  Bobby was an excellent player and was destined for the English top flight. A powerful presence at both ends of the pitch.  Some older supporters at the time believed he was a better player than Gordon McQueen. I wasn’t old enough to remember Gordon at Saints but obviously saw him at Leeds, Man U and Scotland - from what I saw of Bobby he had the ability to go as far in the game and win some major honours for club and country.

I got that from Crystal Palace official website , hopefully its correct . In all fairness Franco would have been 5ft 10 earlier on in his career .
