PROFILE
A two-footed elegant player who played either at right or left-back. London-born
Frank had played over 200 times for Charlton Athletic when he signed for Liverpool.It was
an attempt to bolster an increasingly fragile defence as the club nose-dived towards
relegation to the Second Division. Frank’s arrival came too late to stop that slide but
at least he had the satisfaction of helping his colleagues to keep a clean sheet on his
debut against West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on Boxing Day, the goalless draw halting a
run of three successive defeats in which fifteen goals had been conceded! Frank made the
line-up at full-back for the first 18 matches of the following season but then lost his
place as Liverpool attempted … unsuccessfully as it turned out to make an immediate
return to the top division. His last league appearance for the club came at Middlesbrough
towards the end of April 1955 and two months later he returned south to continue his
playing career with Watford.
