A genuine son of Huddersfield, Town legend, massive hero of mine as a boy and scorer of one of the greatest ever goals ( unfortunately not for us), farewell Frank and thanks for some amazing memories.

Too young to have seen him play but my Dad wax’s lyrical about him and seeing footage of him throughout the years, he certainly was a huge character and what a player. RIP You Legend.

My God I’d this true? Not seen this in the media.
My absolute footballing hero as a kid. Of all the sad losses in recent years this one is the worst.
I will never forget his performance in the FA Cup v West Ham which had such an effect on me, I won a school essay competition for writing about it.
Our first pop star footballer , if his move to Liverpool had gone through would have won far more England Caps.

Thank you for all the memories Frank.

I just have the odd twinkling memories of him playing with us as he left when i was 9....but the genius of this true maverick still shines through Few memories do not mean that i do not see him as the greatest Town player of the last 3 generations. Naturally i saw him on the telly (and live) for others, what a player! Frank is not only what football needs its what life demands, free-spiritedness, strength of character and prize entertainment. In later life i came to know Frank a little, just on passing terms but i admired him immensely whether he was telling tales, reminiscing or fighting in the bookies  RIP Frank, you deserve all the accolades. |

I'm sure he put the frighteners on the opposition because the skills he showed in pre-match warm-ups were so amazing.
Replicated in the pitch too. The England team should have been built around him. He was NOT a luxury player.
It is true that over one summer Lawrie McMenemy brought the Saints players together and asked which one player would improve their chances of the league. The unanimous response was Frankie!
They came second, which is the best Saints have ever done.
Hero. Character. Star.
