It was a surreal sensation, two great performers, each a master in their field (pun intended) both in the same studio at the same time and Tony Keys ping-ponging questions across the airwaves to both stars. In fact, it got so confusing that in the end we had Paul answering questions about football and Trevor giving us a run-down on Paul's up and coming concert dates !!! ...well weird !!!

Trevor Francis
Trevor John Francis (born 19 April 1954 in Boxhill, Plymouth, England), is a former footballer who won 52 caps for England.
He was England's first £1 million player. He has also been a football manager. Goals scored during his career total more than 220.
Trevor was educated at Plymouth's Public Secondary School for Boys. He was an agile and skillful forward and joined Birmingham City as a schoolboy. He quickly rose in status, making his debut appearance for its first team in 1970, aged just 16. His talent was noted when, before his 17th birthday, he scored four goals in one game. He ended his first season with 15 goals from just 22 games.
On 30 October 1976 he scored one of Birmingham's most famous goals, when he turned away from the touchline and cut inside four QPR defenders, constantly being forced backwards, before suddenly unleashing a 25-yard shot which caught the goalkeeper off guard. In 1977, he was given his first England cap by Don Revie. England were beaten 2-0 by Holland.
Trevor had a short spell in charge of Crystal Palace. Under his managership, Palace defeated Liverpool in an FA Cup fourth round replay at Anfield in February 2003.
He is now working as a pundit with Sky Sports and as a football consultant. England manager Fabio Capello labelled Francis as the best English player to have ever played in Serie A.
