He enjoyed matchday hospitality with friends and family in the European Lounge as Leicester Tigers faced Saracens in the Aviva Premiership match of the day.
Although Tigers were unable to add a victory to seal a perfect afternoon, Frank was presented with a Tigers anniversary ball from Jordan Crane in recognition of his long-standing support.
“I first came here with an aunt and an uncle back in the 1930s,” said Frank. “I must have been eight or nine years old and I remember Bobby Barr was the Tigers captain.”
Frank, who used to work at Leicester Town Hall, became a season ticket holder and enjoyed some great afternoons at Welford Road. His favourite Tigers match, however, took place on ‘foreign’ soil when the Millennium Stadium hosted the Heineken Cup semi-final against Cardiff Blues in 2009.
“It was an incredible game which ended in a draw and then the penalty kicks,” he says.
And his favourite Tigers players over those 75 years?
“That’s a difficult one,” says Frank. “The whole team is my favourite!”
