BIOGRAPHY
Frank was a champion utility who could play in defence, on the wing or as a half-forward. He was a versatile player who showed great determination and stamina combined with a touch of class. He was one of Richmond’s leading players during the 1920 and 1921 Premiership years. He represented Victoria three times and was awarded Life Membership in 1924. After leaving Richmond, he adapted to the full-forward position with great success kicking 273 in four seasons firstly with Prahran and then Alphington. An engineer by trade, he served in The Royal Australian Navy during the First World War. For this reason he played only 16 games in his first five seasons.
