    Love Frank, What a brilliant guy !!! He is a great person and his attitude is spot on, If only more footballer's today had his humble and down to earth attitude. Guy left school at 14 and grew up in Milton and has more common sense than 90% of the spoilt brats we have today who went to high level schools etc

      I didn't know that but, i agree, he has a different way of looking at things and aftern I read his collum in a paper (couple of year agao) was very pleasantly surprised

    I moved from Glasgow to Dagenham in Essex for a few years, and used to go and watch him play at Upton Park, went on a stag night in Hollywoods Romford, and could not believe Frank was sitting in the VIP bar upstairs, spoke to him for about 20 minutes, and even shared his bubbly with me. One of the most down to earth footballers i have met, Top Top man.

      Robert Alexander my mums from Glasgow, they moved to Brighton in the 60's & still here, they were all rangers. I was a bit of a naughty kid & when I was about 13-14 I got a Celtic top & started following Celtic, to wind them all up, rebellious etc.
      The 80's were some great times. 👍🏼

  • @alanmayo9770
    @alanmayo9770 Před 3 lety +5

    Every ⚒ fan adored Frank. In his heart, Celtic will always be his no.1 but I guarantee you that he is more of a legend to us than he is to them. Hammers fans are so loyal and he loves West Ham.

  • @mrkipling2201

    Due to the tv blackout of football in 1985/86 I think people knew him more for being on Wogan than playing for West Ham!!! Great player, one of the main reasons why West Ham nearly won the championship in 85/86. Thanks for this!!!

  • @BritishBoy1971
    @BritishBoy1971 Před 5 lety +1

    I used to enjoy seeing Frank play at West Ham back in the day. It was like a different World back then, compared to today's football. It all seems money orientated now, with too many foreign players.
    One memory I have from back then is that whenever Frank got injured on the pitch and the Physio ran on, some of the crowd used to shout out, "Bring on the hairspray!" (He had great hair back then)!! 😂
    The man is a legend. Another great interview, thank you James! 🙂👍
