Title: RIP Frank Arrowsmith
Post by: tommy toes on November 10, 2020, 07:56:53 am

Frank was a lifelong Rovers supporter who didn't miss many games over the years.
He was Mayor of Edlington and a stalwart of the local Labour movement for many years.
A proud ex miner who fought for the working  class all his life.
I knew him for 30 years after he joined the NHS.
He will be sorely missed.

Didn't know him that well personally but was acquainted with the family growing up in Edlo. Always knew he was a stand-up bloke, the kind that's all too rare. RIP Frank, condolences to the family.

Remember Frank from Yorkshire Main RIP, pretty sure he threw his helmet in the air once and said if that comes down we are all going home
