MARKHAM - The name Frank 'The Tank' may have been made famous by look-a-like Will Ferrell in the movie Old School, but on the soccer pitch, it's synonymous for defensive standout - and latest Pistolas FC signing - Frank Molony.
A former high school Junior and Senior Soccer MVP, Frank 'The Tank' Molony is exactly the defensive piece that PFC has been searching for - especially with the loss of injured All-Star Jason Shumski.
Following his high school success Frank went on to play for Celtic F.C. - the same club where Pistolas FC pinched 'The Asian Persuasion' Julius Auyeung from. Once again PFC had their ear to the ground and when they found out Frank was available, they quickly moved in and swooped him off the February transfer wire.
The selling point was Frank's promise to team captain, Charles Eppich, to follow a strict diet and training regimen, and the team is hopeful that he can regain the fitness of his glory years pictured below.
Past scouting reports from his native Ireland rave about his passing, shooting andpositioning, but it's his ball handling skills that they found magically delicious!
And don't forget, our daily segment on National Teams continues today at 2:00pm, where we'll take a look at the Turkish Gameplan.
