It's a long running title for these interviews on the OS. You must have missed the others

It's the lack of a colon that makes it sound like a former player is remembering Frank Sinclair.

I think it usually has a hyphen to separate the phase, now edited.

 

Suffice to say I've made a complete balls up of the title not once but twice

Good old Mad Frank.

 

So much of a legend for us, my 12 year old asks frequently asks "can we watch Mad Frank's own goals on Youtube again?"

Well he won’t live long without his colon so could be accurate.

Quite surprising he didn't score more given the likes of Elliott and Taggart got a very reasonable share.

 

Really good defender who shouldn't be defined by the own goals.

Wasn't very tall though was he? But what he did, particularly when playing the back 3, was bring some proper balance to it. Taggart and Elliott desperately needed the pace at the back and then it meant you had all the bases covered with those 3.

 

If we'd kept MON (and therefore Lennon/maybe Heskey) that team was probably a player or 2 away from being able to challenge for Champions League qualification. The whole was very much better than the sum of the parts but you still had players with genuine quality in Izzet, Heskey and Collymore (for the short time he was here)

I was flicking through one of those budget "Worst Premier League Footballers EVER" books they used to have at Tesco, looking for who we had representing Leicester (sadly, this was about a decade before Danny Ward), and they had Frank Sinclair down, with not much justification other than his own goals.  Yes, he's remembered for them, but it still made me realise the authors had clearly never seen him play.

Do you have a copy of “Useless Footballers” by J R Udkin?
