It can't have been easy for Frank Gray to live in the shadow of
his brother, but since he ended up with more caps and a European
Cup Winners medal, it didn't turn out that bad for him in the
end.
With Eddie well know, many clubs were competing for Frank's
signature when he turned professional in 1971, but he chose Leeds
and nearly matched his brother's feat by scoring on his full debut
(he'd previously appeared as a sub). Playing at left back and in
midfield he was a useful utility player and established himself as
Scotland's left-back for the 1982 World Cup.
He returned to Leeds after his stint at Forest, and played under
his brother's management before seeking a final break from Leeds
and moving up to the north-east where he helped Sunderland gain
promotion from Division 3.
Stewart Kidd says: I lived round the corner from him and wenmt
to school with his younger brother
Eamonn Dolan says: I saw Frankie upstairs on a bus in Dublin
(circa 1981). He asked the conductor to let him off at the FAI
offices at Merrion Square. What was he doing there? Why?
pAUL says: Do you have Frank Gray's mailing address ? I hear he
is a Football Agent with some lower Division players on his books,
PLEASE HELP !!!
Hussain Al-Alawi says: Frank Gray became My School's Football
coach in Bahrain in 1998
Angus Martin says: i grew up with eddie and frank. watched frank
play from a very young age.he played with a team in castlemilk
glasgow called croftfoot united. his manager was called bob
mckirdy.
