Awful. RIP Frankie. Gent.

Just to mention that Frankie Wilson passed away this morning, the lad was an absolute gentleman, the very best . Thoughts and prayers with the family at this time.

Ah jesus. I saw a photo of him recently and wondered was he ill as he didn't look well. That's awful sad

Hasn't been well for a while sadly. He once told me he wanted to retire to the Ards peninsula.

RIP Frankie, lovely lad who all the kids in Knock that I know couldn't speak highly enough of.

Desperately sad news , he was the same year as me at the Poly  a gentleman who always had a smile on his face

Heart breaking news, a gentleman, brilliant all round sportsman. Thoughts and prayers with his family.

Well yes and no, I think they were stand alone clubs at one point then changed over, as Frankie says he moved on to Lamhs and some of the Eire og lads did at juvenile then went back to their 'own' clubs at senior

Can't remember playing against Derriaghy but remember Frankie for Lamhs, some pace and intelligent with the ball 

He came back into Antrim over 40's and still had pace ffs!!

Sadly missed

Sad news.....Frankie was a super footballer and a most likeable lad.
May his good soul Rest in Peace, and Mary Queen of the Gael wrap her arms around and comfort his grieving family....

Suppose that is the area alright but didn't think it was the same club.

Got to know him through the Masters. It is hard to take on. Full of life. Shit is not right

[Sportacus]

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him personally, but I certainly remember watching him play and he always gave his all and was very talented, played off the cuff a bit. RIP.

[bannside]

Rest in peace Frankie, our paths never crossed personally but the last time I saw you was at the beach in Culdaff and you were living life to the full. Your passing puts a lot of things in perspective. Sincere condolences also to the Mc Auley family of Cargin on the passing of Kevin, a true Gael in every sense.

Fair play to all the u20 footballers out plodding through the mud and rain today. As with every other year this age left to November. Need to wise up and play this age of championship in April / May, give young players a chance. Rant over
