Happy Birthday Frank.
I worked with his son many years ago on a building site at box (chippenham) frank was then at pompey,he gave us a couple of them orange mitre football's they used to use,no doub't they was borrowed from pompey at the time.we used have a kick about in the lunch our against the irish.
Only met him once,but came across as a real gentleman.

I don't know if Frank will read this,but if he does or friends or family were to do so,then i thought it
an appropriate way for the TEF members to pass on our best wishes.Hope you agree.

Top man FB...no not that cunt....he always fancied a crack at the STFC job, but because he left for another job when assistant it was held against him...he did a decent job at both Cardiff and Swansea.
I suppose about 4 years ago, I was at Soton v WBA in the Prem, just after Megson had been sacked..Frank was doing caretaking duties, Megson did a couple of stints with Frank as his number 2.
Frank was in and out the technical area with his flat cap on berating players, and from a distance it reminded me of Basil Fawlty about to lash his Morris 1100.

When Bobby Smith was sacked,didn't Cecil Green (Chairman) try to lure Frank back to STFC from Pompey?

All I know is that Frank applied a couple of times, but didn't get the job. |

Frank used to run up to refs and yell at them from close range, yet he was seldom booked. How did he get away with it?
He played hard in that red shirt, never gave anything less than 100%, and wasn't really replaced until Shaun Taylor showed up (no disrespect to the Prof., Colin Prophet).

Aizlewood was from the same mould. Frank was a big slab of lad. |
