Anyone know what`s happened to him.He would drive up to the ground from the Gardeners with about 30 more people on his bus than he should have.Push every car in his way up the verges being egged on by the Stokies on the bus and get you to the ground in about two minutes flat.My young`un loved him. Remeber the coppers would just stand there shaking their heads.

god,that man drove like a loony!!
but like others have said,it was all part of the match day experience to be driven to the ground by mad frankie!!
it was funny sitting on the bus and looking out of the window as he cut some car up.but if he had cut me up like that i'd proberly have stopped my car and smacked him!!
hope people are wrong,and he is still alive.

I took some mates on there, one Man City the other Brighton I don't think they remember the match as they were in shock! I thought he was done for driving without a license or something and banged up. My kids and missus used to love it on that bus too.

Frank didn't run the buses last season ( he was missed then ) and went off the scene the season before Tina,Phil, Debs and Jo are still doing a sterling job and have been doing for a long time. I hope we still get our outside bench on the end for picnics now we are prem even though we are known to harbour a Port Vale fan. We miss Franks driving though, a pure adrenelin rush !
