Description
Frank Soo's remarkable football career has been largely forgotten by history. Yet, he was once a household name in Britain and beyond, with his life chronicled by national newspapers around the world. Soo's achievements on the pitch were impressive: playing for England nine times, captaining the RAF team during World War II, and guesting for several top-tier clubs including Everton and Chelsea. He also managed several high-profile teams, including Djurgårdens IF in Sweden and Scunthorpe United. A pioneer in many ways, Soo was the first person from a Chinese or Asian background to play for England. This book aims to rekindle interest in Frank Soo's life and legacy, revealing the story of a skilful footballer, charming personality, and role model who remains an important figure in the sport.
