Comment
After a move from non-league Mile Oak Rovers to First Division Derby failed to see sparks fly, giant six foot seven striker Francis made his name at Stockport, rattling in plenty of goals as they became perennial play-off failures and Autoglass Wembley visitors.  A big money move to Birmingham followed, but the goals lacked their previous regularity, and he was a habitual Barry Fry substitute.  Later he fell on footballing hard times and came to Boothferry with much to prove.  After half a season in which Big Kev contributed five goals, inspired a run to the play-offs amid unpaid wage bills and became a fans' favourite, he was once more released.
In February 2005 Kev joined non-Leaguers Studley after similar spells at Hednesford and Redditch.  This will only be a short stay though, as he intends to emigrate to Canada at the end of 2005.
