It was the semi final of the UEFA Cup. We were in Marseille in Southern France for the second leg. That five night thousand Geordies turned up with high hopes and expectations only to be disappointed by the performance on the pitch, we lost 2-0 after drawing the first leg 0-0 at St James' Park. On the night few players had the stomach for the fight, at least Shola did - (Mackem slayer) Since I met Frank in 1996, Newcastle have had around 100 European nights, I think if we added up the games he attended it would be close to 100. Roger and I only had to turn up for the away trip, Frank had organised everything. The lead up to the match was spent down by the water, the attached picture of Frank I think sums him up. I will miss him - he was a friend for life.
