Such sad news. Spent many an hour with Frank over the years, chatting at home games, reserve games, travelling to away games together and often watching neutral games together, be they at Swinton, Salford, Halifax or wherever.
Frank has been in ill health for some time but was still managing to get to home games earlier in the season if not necessarily every game home and away as had always been the case in the past.
A real pleasure to have called him a friend and I’m sure hundreds will feel likewise. He will be sadly missed.

Great to see you there Mick,Franks family asked me to pass on their best wishes and thanks to you , Dave and Jon.As for Running Bear?I presume it was a favourite song of Franks.Whatever it was a great turn out,and a few Leigh fans have told me this afternoon what a good send off Frank had.

Likewise, it was an honour to be able to make the funeral and happy to say it was a privilege to call Frank my Friend, the world is less of a place without him RIP.

Good to meet you on Friday, BM. Don't know the song either and so, when asked to "Do 'Running Bear' " Bongser had to decline the request and inform them that his streaker days were over. 
Good luck for the remainder of the Eights.
