Template:Use British English Template:Infobox football biography Carlos Everton Francis (born 21 August 1962) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham City and Hereford United,[1] and in the Alliance Premier League for Enfield.[2]
Francis was born in West Ham, London. He joined Birmingham City as an apprentice in June 1979, and turned professional the following year.[3] A pacy winger, Francis made his debut in the First Division on the opening day of the 1982–83 season, in the starting eleven for a 3–0 defeat at Manchester United.[4] He was the first black player to appear for the club.[3] He made one more start and three substitute appearances that season, but his inconsistency restricted his first-team football. In December 1983 he joined Fourth Division club Hereford United on a month's loan,[3] where he played five league games.[1] Francis was released in 1984,[3] and he went on to play three games without scoring in the Alliance Premier League for Enfield in the 1984–85 season.[2]
