Timeline

1940

Francis was a Brentford supporter as a youth and his father Roy was a professional at the club in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

His sons Adam and Jake were academy players at Queens Park Rangers.

1951

Gerald Charles James Francis (born 6 December 1951) is an English former footballer and manager.

1969

Francis made his first team debut for Queens Park Rangers against Liverpool in March 1969.

1970

He was captain and central midfield player during the 1970s and was a key player in the QPR side, which came close to winning their first-ever league title in 1976.

1974

He won 12 caps for the England team between 1974 and 1976, and was captain for eight of those matches.

His International career was limited by a persistent back injury.

1979

He left QPR for Crystal Palace in 1979, although he subsequently returned to QPR for a 2nd spell, before a move to Coventry City.

However this was a time when he suffered injury problems.

1983

In August 1983, he was appointed player-manager of Exeter City although they endured a difficult season.

1985

Francis then had further short playing spells at Cardiff City, Swansea City and Portsmouth before a move to Bristol Rovers in 1985 yielded 32 league appearances, where he ended his playing career in 1987.

Following this playing spell he succeeded Bobby Gould as manager of Third Division side Bristol Rovers.

1986

Arguably the finest player at the club during this time was striker Les Ferdinand, who had joined the club from non-league Hayes in 1986 but not established himself in the first team until the season before Francis arrived, when he scored eight goals in 18 First Division games.

1990

In 1990, he guided the Pirates to the Third Division title and thus they won promotion to the Second Division, but a year later he returned to QPR as manager.

1992

In 1992–93, QPR finished fifth in the inaugural Premier League – the highest placed of all the London teams.

Francis kept faith in Ferdinand, and was rewarded in 1992–93 when the player hit 20 league goals in one season.

1993

They finished ninth in 1993–94 and eighth in 1994–95, but in November 1994, Francis left Loftus Road for Tottenham Hotspur.

During his three years in charge at QPR, Francis fielded a side containing some of the most feared players in the top flight.

With the resignation of Graham Taylor as England national team manager in November 1993 following failure to qualify for the World Cup, Francis was one of the many names linked to the vacancy, but the job went to Terry Venables instead.

1994

In March 1994, ambitious Division One club Wolverhampton Wanderers made a lucrative approach for Francis to drop down a division and take charge of the club looking to make the breakthrough to the Premier League, but he rejected the offer and Wolves turned to Graham Taylor instead.

1994–95 was a 'nearly' season for Tottenham.

They finished seventh in the Premier League – two places off a UEFA Cup place – and lost to Everton in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

1995

Ferdinand remained at QPR until his £6million transfer to Newcastle in 1995, by which time he had scored 78 goals in five league campaigns and was one of the most feared strikers in England, being capped for the first time in 1993.

It has been argued that Francis is largely responsible for Anderton's recurring injuries, placing him in the team without sufficient time to recover, which resulted in Anderton's appearing in only eight games in the 1995–96 season and 17 games in the 1996–97 season.

1997

In July 1997, while manager of Tottenham Hotspur, Francis signed Ferdinand for £6million.

Mid table finishes in the next two seasons were unconvincing and Francis resigned in November 1997 with Spurs battling against relegation from the Premier League.

During his time at Tottenham Francis became resented by the fans over his handling of star player Darren Anderton.

1998

In September 1998, Gerry Francis was named as QPR manager for the second time.

They had slumped since his departure four years earlier and were now Division One strugglers.

2001

He kept them clear of relegation over the next two seasons before finally resigning in February 2001 with a return to the lower half of the league imminent after more than 30 years.

He briefly became Director of Football at QPR before beginning his second spell as manager of Bristol Rovers in June 2001.

Three successive wins at the start of the 2001–02 campaign gave the Pirates hope for promotion back to Division Two, but injuries soon took their toll on the side's form and Francis resigned just before Christmas.

The Pirates continued to slide and missed out on relegation to the Conference by just one place.

Gerry Francis worked with Graham Muxworthy and Ian Holloway whilst at Bristol Rovers.

Francis has not been in management since.

2008

On 4 October 2008, he was offered a position of first team coach at Newcastle United, however due to the uncertainty over the period of the role he decided to take up an offer from Stoke City to become their first team coach.

2012

He left Stoke at the end of the 2012–13 season.

Francis followed former Stoke manager Tony Pulis to Crystal Palace when he became a coach under Pulis at the London club.

2014

Following Pulis's surprise departure from the club in August 2014 Francis remained in his position in order to assist caretaker manager Keith Millen.

However, on 28 August 2014, following the appointment of Neil Warnock as manager it was announced by the club that Francis had left.
