Anyone out there know if Tommy Fraser's dad was the Frankie Fraser who played for Hastings in the late 1970's?

Doubt it. Isn't his uncle THE Frankie Frazer?

Frankie played for the Albion in the 70s but a serious injury put him out of the professional game, so yes it probably was him.

yes connections with the underworld indeed

Presumably he was a youth team or reserve player?

Yes, the very same "Francis Fraser" who played for both Hastings and the Albion in the 70's. Now living in Southern Spain.

Why do you want to know??

In The Story of Brighton & Hove Albion by Tim Carder And Roger Harris there is a picture of FF for season 73 -74, he was a youth team player just a mere lad.

I can assure you Tom Fraser's dad is not living in southern Spain (although he does have a place out there). He was indeed a Brighton Youth player but I don't know if he ever played for Hastings, I'll ask him for you.

my wife knew the Fraser's tommy apparently is the son of Francis,who was the son of the notorious "Frankie Fraser" incidentally I met the Frankie while I was a prison officer and he was a real gent and I agree with what he said after his release that the criminals of today are mostly scroats unlike those of his and my day who kept themselves within their own fraternity and left the like of you and I to get on with our lives unhindered by them.

unlike today
