Frank was my next door neighbour in Manchester. Other boxers lived, and trained at the same house. Frank moved away whilst I was doing my national service, and I lost touch. I met him again some time later. He was, "on the door", at a club. He was an extremly nice guy, and a good family man. Rumour was that he lived in Wythenshawe(Manchester). I never saw him again. He just seem to have vanished. He really was. "One of the good guy's". I would be interested to know, what happened to him.
