Title: Frank Rankmore Post by: Peter Frost on November 27, 2022, 10:35:18 am RIP - part of the first team I watched and a bit scary to see those players are well into their eighties
Title: Re: Frank Rankmore Post by: Carton Lid on November 27, 2022, 11:00:35 am A colossus of a centre half, I well remember the goal against Tranmere in the FA Cup which meant we played Man Utd & Georgie Best.
RIP Frank. Title: Re: Frank Rankmore Post by: the grumpy old man on November 27, 2022, 12:19:13 pm I was watching the Cobblers when Frank was playing, great player. R.I.P. Frank.

RIP Frank and thanks for the memories. Title: Re: Frank Rankmore Post by: Deepcut Cobbler on November 27, 2022, 14:51:48 pm Frank Rankmore and John Fairbrother were my first two Cobblers hero's. R.I.P. Frank...
Title: Re: Frank Rankmore Post by: TPFKA Marvo on November 27, 2022, 21:48:30 pm Frank would probably be centre back in my all-time Cobblers line-up. A Colossus at the back. RIP.

RIP Frank. I remember that goal well. Out jumping all from a corner, level with the crossbar, and thumping a header just under the bar, right in front of the Hotel End, Frank became a hero! As already said: a colossal centre half. RIP Frank.

RIP Frank and thank you.Title: Re: Frank Rankmore Post by: everbrite on November 29, 2022, 08:07:45 am Signed from Peterborough and was surprised they let him go; particularly to us! A decent centre half for us and was a good servant of the Club. Those who remember Terry Branston will know who was the more effective player. It is always sad for me when these great club players pass away; memories come flooding back. Feel lucky to have seen both play.
