Frank was labelled “Have boots, will travel,” due to the fact he played for so many clubs in his career. His first spell at Northampton was as a replacement for Cliff Holton, and he scored 18 goals in 20 games. He left soon after but returned in 1967 when the club needed his goals to keep them in Division 2, but he was soon off again when Leicester City wanted him to play in Division One. He returned for a third spell with Northampton when they had fallen in to Division 4, and although his goals never won the club promotion, he did hit one of the consolation goals v Manchester United in the 8-2 1970 FA Cup defeat. He sadly passed away in August 2003.

As a Cobbler in the Crowd you can arrange to have your own face in the stand or alternatively this would make a fantastic Father’s Day gift, a birthday present for a loved one or even a tribute to someone no longer with us who used to enjoy Northampton Town games.

The package includes your (or a loved one’s) head and shoulders photo on a Foamex ‘cut-out’ and positioned on a seat in the stand. The cut outs will be signed by a player or a member of the coaching staff before supporters can collect them when it is safe to do so.

To be a Cobbler in the Crowd costs just £25 and to take part please visit ntfcdirect.co.uk/match-tickets.aspx. Once you have placed your order via ntfcdirect.co.uk you will receive a confirmation email (remember to check your spam folders!)

The closing date for orders and photos is 5pm on 14th June 2020.
