Watch out, Frankie’s about

SIR: Jim White’s I Once Met Mad Frankie Fraser (February issue) reminded me that Tommy Fraser, a

grandson of Mad Frankie, played professional football for my favourite local club, Port Vale FC, between 2009 and 2011.

Tommy’s previous club was Brighton, and whilst there the Sun reported that, when asked by a local journalist if his granddad ever attended his games, Tommy replied: ‘No, but he reads your reports and he was unhappy you only gave me six out of ten last week.’

It was said that Fraser was never rated less than seven out of ten by the local paper again. Winston Hathaway, Stoke-on-trent.
