The last time I talked to him was when class 4X split up in mid 1964. There were only five of us, three from 4A, Frank, Terry Prince and myself, an Indian kid who could hardly speak English and a boy for 4D. 4X was an experiment for those staying on after the minimum leaving age. Frank was waiting to join West Ham, while Terry and I were waiting to join the Army. Frank was far better at cricket then football, whereas Terry and myself were the school chess team. Frank lived about 100 yards from our house with his parents and sister Gwen. He is a nice bloke, which is as good a compliment as you can get I first met Frank Lampard Snr at the ripe old age of 11 when Class 1A of Pretoria Boys School in Canning Town had its first day in the new school year.

It was the same saturday that West Ham had just lost 4-1 away to Barnsley, and Geroge Parris had been playing! It still baffles me how they managed to make it to Southend so quickly, but from what I remember they were more serious about going clubbing for their mate's birthday than winning an FA cup game.

Good post Roshi. Given that Frank was always a man of few words, I actually like the contrast between the length of the story and his apology. Good post Roshi.
