Indeed. Some of my favourite seasons were when Burrows was in charge.

Definitely in the top ten City managers of the last sixty years, possibly the top five.

RIP Frank - 1987/88 was one of my favourite seasons not just for the football but from a fans perspective it was brilliant especially the away days.

Re: RIP Franky Burrows

RIP Frank good times following the club back then

also a mention to local baseball legend John Smith who passed away recently too for many the greatest baseball player in the 1970/80's in the Cardiff area

Re: RIP Franky Burrows

That's sad news. Had plenty of dealings with Frank Burrows and his assistant, Bobby Smith as a youngster. Some very fond memories and some not so. He was a real hard man, an incredibly tough character, but funny and generous at the same time.

One little anecdote. I was on tea making duty as a 15 year old at Ninian park. It was half time and the city were losing and playing poorly. I was dishing out the brew for the players while Frankie ripped them to pieces.Head down but loving listening to him assassinate the players. He went right around the dressing room and destroyed them all, one by one. Then, right at the end, he looked at me and said " And youse son, youse are a ****ing disgrace as well" ****ing brilliant!

My first proper season that was, singing fb barmy army for what seemed like forever sometimes is entrenched in my memory. Promotion and a Welsh cup final to saviour down the vetch….Rip
