Kevin Francis Biography

Kevin Francis is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on December 6, 1967 in Birmingham, Birmingham, ****. Kevin Derek Michael Francis (born 6 December 1967) is a former professional footballer who played as a striker and is 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) tall. He is best known for his four-year spell at Stockport County, where he scored 117 goals.

In January 1995, Francis was signed for £800,000 by Barry Fry for his hometown club Birmingham City, and enjoyed a successful period, scoring 21 times in 94 appearances. This included the most successful season in his career, picking up a Division Two Champions medal as Birmingham secured promotion back to the 1st Division, and a winners medal in the Football League Trophy Final of the same season. Birmingham beat Carlisle United 1-0 at Wembley to secure a season double, with Francis finally breaking his Wembley duck after previously enduring four successive defeats with Stockport. Francis also played a major part in Birmingham’s eventual promotion that season, scoring 8 times in the promotion run-in, (bringing his season tally to 21) including the first goal in a vital 2-0 home victory against second placed Brentford (only one team secured automatic promotion from the league that season).

Francis left Birmingham in 1998 moving to Oxford United, then Exeter City (for whom he scored once, against Lincoln City) and Hull City followed, before Francis exited the Football League and joined Hednesford Town. He finished his career off with spells at Redditch United and Studley before retiring in 2005.

He did make a return to County in 2000, but it was short-lived as after just four appearances he broke his leg in a match versus Manchester City. He was released at the end of the season, a sad way to end his glorious County career.

Francis also played for Birmingham for a further two seasons in the 1st Division, although his time at St Andrews was disrupted by injury. Despite this, he played a major part in Birmingham’s run to the League Cup Semi-Finals in the 95-96 season, scoring a brace as Birmingham eliminated Premiership Middlesbrough 2-0 in a 4th Round replay at St Andrews. He also opened the scoring with a 25-yard rocket in the Semi-Final 1st Leg at St Andrews against another Premier League side, Leeds Utd. Unfortunately for Francis and Birmingham, Leeds Utd came back to win the first leg 2-1 before securing a 3-0 victory in the second leg at Elland Road, to progress to the final on a 5-1 aggregate.
