Club Career
Club(s)	Frank attended Victoria School in Berkhamstead. On finishing his education, he worked at Apsley Mills. He first played football for Boxmoor St. John’s and it was there that he was spotted by Berkhamsted boss Arthur Gomm, who offered the teenager the chance to join his home town club. Frank signed for Berkhamsted in November 1933, joining elder brother Reg, who played at inside right. When Aston Villa came to watch him playing against Marlow, Frank had an awful game and did not score, but Villa still decided to sign him on in the Autumn of 1934. No fee was involved but Villa agreed to send a first team to play at Broadwater. He stayed at Villa Park until 1946, after scoring 90 goals in 151 league and cup appearances. Frank was transferred to Derby County for Ł5,000 and averaged a goal every three games. He joined Notts County in 1949. Later, he played for Brentford and Derby County and, after hanging up his boots, served as manager at Exeter City and Southend United. He also had a spell in Australia.
