He would have had a field day in recent years with all the changes in the way the game is refereed and also the bowling green pitches. I just wish he had been a little more patient at Liverpool as he would have become a Kop Legend and won major honours. He really was that good. He should have won so many caps for Scotland. Hopefully Frank can win this battle. One of my first ever heroes playing in the first division under Fergie. You are in my thoughts Frank. Without him leading the line in 1987 we would never have won that cup. I remember his last appearance at Love Street when he destroyed @Eric Arthur Blair in goals that day. Think Frank scored 5 or 6 goals in a 20 minute period then walked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Sad news, especially in the wake of similar news about another great striker from that era, Frank McDougall. Hope they both recover well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was keeper for the team wearing the red kit. I did concede 7 but made one magnificent flying potato save from a Lex Richardson piledriver. As others have said I hope both Franks make full and swift recoveries. Edited October 8, 2022 by Eric Arthur Blair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Franks 20 minute piss take of @div Lex Richardson was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch despite probably being the oldest.

Helmettroll Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Absolute shocker to hear this, Frank was my hero growing up, shed tears when he left, was over the moon when he returned, also had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, great guy, obviously supported Celtic but loved the Buds aswell... Get well soon Frank.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 All best Frank... still think 3 all game v Tic in our first season back under Fergie was best game ever.. thanks for awesome memories ... and all the great goals for the Buddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Noticed on Sportscene he was a guest at Parkhead yesterday and addressed the fans from the pitch. If we haven't already, maybe Saints should invite him to a game soon too? Edited October 16, 2022 by Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read back it was pretty mixed, probably just in favour of some sort of Fergie tribute, but it doesn't suit your usual "poor me" agenda. As for people being twats just because they disagree with you, classy, but your "go to" response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if Frank is going to attend tomorrow's game? I watched a short interview Frank gave the other day, it seems he may not have long left, I'll admit it near brought me to tears...
