To the best of my knowledge I’ve never met Frank but if he ever stood behind the sticks at Hilton Park maybe I did. Either way after years of reading his posts on here I feel like I knew him.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
Rest In Peace Frank

I have probably met & spoke with Frank a dozen times & he was a real friendly fella with a great dry sense of humour.
I will never forget his favourite line "fixed income" or his love of a glass of red & his love for Leigh Centurions.

RIP Frank.He could certainly talk rugby and his limited income occasionally stretched to a couple of reds.Had many a natter in the 3 pigeons and the wren and he would always go out of his way to find my partner and I in the shay or Leight stadium if not in the pub.A true gentleman and a rugby stalwart who will be missed by many in the wider rugby league family.Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Saddened on reading this thread on the way into work this morning. Only knew Frank for about 18 months but after our meeting shared many a pint with him and his mate, Peter, down at the Egerton in Salford. Despite the territory, he was always ‘distinguised’ by his very much lived in Centurions cap and was ever an affable quaffer. He’d been frail of late but I didn’t see this coming. I’m usually a Wobbly Bob man but will raise a pint of Holts’ Best both for him and to him this evening. Condolences to family and friends. RIP Frank.

I met him in the George when I was meeting Charlie for a Fax game. Lovely bloke and good company.

Condolences to all his family and friends.
