Meant to post this the other day but got caught up in the World Cup. A gentleman and fantastic representative of Splott, Frank gained one Welsh cap against Chile on the South American tour of 1966. RIP Frank, a true giant amongst men.

RIP - slightly before my time as far as City we’re concerned. Didn’t realise he played so many matches for his other clubs. He was in theNorthampton team that George Bedt scored six against wasn’t he?Quote:

Sorry to hear that. Saw him play but to be honest haven't particular memories.
Was he living in Northampton?
RIP
No, Frank & his late wife lived in Splott for years.Quote:
