ceegee 7 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 According to the following link http://www.chrishobbs.com/sheffield2/franklevick1908.htm it seems that Frank died from heart failure as a result of pneumonia. The only reference to a "footballing injury" is a broken collar bone that was sustained on New Years Day against Newcastle. How the bone was broken is not known Does anyone know the location of Frank's grave in Tinsley Cemetery as I would not mind a visit there sometime Quote Link to post Share on other sites
