Frankie’s daughter Kirsty Bish, who has set up a special link so people can pledge money to give the family money so they can give him “the send-off” he deserves, said:

“As most people are aware my dad sadly passed away in a road traffic accident on Thursday.

“Like many of you we are all still in shock and can’t quite believe Frankie is no longer here with us.

“He loved his football and wrestling and I’m hoping his football and wrestling families will be kind enough to donate and help the family raise enough to give my dad the send-off he deserves as this was so unexpected.

“Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Let’s give my dad the send-off he deserves. Thank you. Love Kirsty xx.”
