Wignall, Frank I remember calling at Frank's garage at Burton Joyce where Frank topped up mycar. I had the cheek to advise him on his running action to help him speed up. He smiled and thanked me. I also remember him in that FA Cup tie at the City Ground when Forest beat Everton 3vs2.That match was the most exciting game I ever watched. If Joe Baker had not been injured and put out for the season Forest would have won the FA Cup or the First division championship, perhaps even the double. What happy football days they were. This generation do not know what they missed. John Wilford

Wignall, Frank I know Frank in the 1960's and 1970's. He was a kind Gentleman, even lending me a classic SS Jaguar that he had just bought for my wedding. I am sad to learn of his illness and would welcome contact from him or his family to discuss times past.
