Nooooo, that is such awfully sad news. Frank was a wonderful man and dear friend. And so brave through his horrible illness making sure he still got to as many games as he could with a smile and a quip. I’m gonna miss you Frank.
RIP.

Decent write up by KT who obviously knew and liked Frank Grande. Always enjoyed picking up his ‘book’ just as a reference point. Regards to his family.

Extremely sad news, I knew Frank very well through working together on the 65/66 & 86/87 players re unions held in the last few years. I spent quite a lot of time over at Frank's home in Sywell and every minute was a joy, his knowledge of NTFC was unrivalled, his books were always the "go to" if you needed to reference anything about NTFC. I also know how proud he was that his grandson, Ethan, was starting to follow in his footsteps, but Frank will be a hard act to follow. Frank will be missed by everyone with any connection to NTFC, not just for his knowledge, but for being a top, top Cobblers man.
RIP Frank Grande.

I didn't know him but his books have been, and continue to be, a constant feature and source for all NTFC facts, figures and reminders for those games you can never remember. Particularly poignant following his recent award of EFL League 2 Supporter of the Year. R.I.P. Frank Grande

Only just won an award for his writing a week ago. Before the internet, Frank was THE go to for any stats/history regarding the Cobblers!
RIP sir!

Sorry to hear this. In all my time supporting The Mighty Cobblers, there were always two constants, Pete Norton and Frank Grande.
RIP Frank.
