He was probably one of the most underrated strikers and did not always get the recognition he deserved, sometimes self inflicted by his off the field antics. Always had a fag in his mouth and a tasty bird on his arm.

He would walk into any Premier League team today.

RIP Frank.
He was a wonderful flair player but of the type that was generally mistrusted by England managers. As one article I read said, he was the type of player the fans would pick.

This goal was pretty special.

But bettered in my opinion by this rocket from Peter Lorimer, who also sadly died recently.

I wish I'd seen him in his heyday. I did used to go to Lorimer's pub, The Commercial in the late 1990's before Leeds matches and he was a smashing bloke. Always happy to chat while pulling pints. You would never have thought he'd been one of the best players in the country a couple of decades earlier. Also at that time, he employed the great John Charles to collect the glasses. How fortunes have changed for footballers.
