oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnn 1969, League cup final day...

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.

Dos he read these forums then ?  ;)

If Alan Mayes does...why not Frank Burrows.

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.

This is ace, this forum is turning into a right bunch of old cunts :) happy birthday Mr Burrows.

Shrewsbury away, around about 1977, right from the kick off Aizlewood flattens the home center-forward.  I think he got booked, it would have been a straight red, today.  It took them about five minutes to peel him up off the ground.  It was sheer brutality, the center-forward didn't get a kick after that.  The Town won of course.  Aizlewood was one hard piece of lard about twice as wide as Frank, though.

Happy Belated 65th Frank.

Great defender.  He replaced the gentleman that was Mel Nurse, a wonderful defender who was a footballing centre half. Totally different in style to Mel but both very good servants for the club

Happy birthday Mr Burrows.I'm wishing you good health and more birthdays to come.It's my pleasure to greet you here.
