Francis Lee Leaves £1.6 Million Fortune

Francis Lee, the legendary Manchester City footballer, left behind a considerable estate of £1.6 million for his family upon his death in October 2023 at age 79 after battling lung cancer. Most of his possessions were transferred to his wife, Gillian, while several family members received substantial sums, including £100,000 each for his brother Trevor, sister-in-law Pamela, and daughter-in-law Sonia. Tragically, his eldest son Gary, who was set to inherit £250,000, had passed away just months earlier. Lee's estate is placed in a trust fund for his wife and three surviving children, ensuring their financial security. A prolific player, he scored 148 goals in 330 matches for Manchester City and won various prestigious trophies during his career. Beyond football, he was a successful businessman, notably in the toilet paper industry, which significantly contributed to his wealth.
