Heard this this morning. Didnt see him in the flesh as a player, and remember him as a pundit during our 10-1 against Huddersfield. Decent player from the clips i saw growing up - in particular that goal v Ipswich when the ref claps after seeing his efforts
RIP

He was a very good player indeed, extremely skillful. Matt le Tissier reminded me of him in many ways.

RIP Frank.

Excellent player of the super-skill mode. I remember that where he kicked it back over his head with back to goal and left the defenders all flat footed.

Liked a jar too, I think, like so many of his day.

R.I.P.

You could get into telly with pretty average skills in 70's. Amazing how the skill level has changed.

Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Tyler was the commentator on that. At ht, he asked Frank if it could be double figures. "I don't think they'll get that many" was his reply. Malcolm McDonald's post match was the funniest. Absolutely shell-shocked. Horrible what's happened to Paul Stewart and David White and sad that Frank has passed away. RIP.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.
