RIP Frank Condolences to his family and friends

Frank played 174 games for Trinity between 1951 and 1959 at full-back and centre, scoring 33 tries and kicking 378 goals.

Frank also holds the distinction of being the first Trinity three-quarters to play in the Tests against Australia in the post-war years.

Such a great bloke -spent many a night down at Streethouse Cricket Club chatting about how Wakey's season was going. Not many people realised how good he was and how many games he actually played for Wakefield.

A massive loss.........

Like many others on here, I'm sure, I was too young to ever have had the pleasure of watching him play, but his record speaks for itself.

It's another very sad day for the club and for the fans. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.
