- Frank Roberts (footballer)
Frank Roberts (born 3 April 1893, Sandbach, Cheshire; died 23 May 1961) was a footballer who played for Manchester City between 1922 and 1928. He could play either as an inside forward or a centre forward.
In 1914, Bolton Wanderers paid Crewe Alexandra £200 for his services.
Roberts guested for West Ham United during World War I, scoring 18 goals in 20 appearances between 1917 and 1919. [ [http://www.lalamy.demon.co.uk/whulist.htm West Ham Player List] ]
In October 1922, Manchester City paid £3,400 for him (a huge sum at the time). He played 237 games for Manchester City scoring 130 goals within them. He was top scorer for the club in the 1924-25 season with 31 goals, the 1925-26 season with 21 goals (Tommy Browell was joint top scorer in this season) and in 1927-28 when he scored 20 goals. In round 5 of the FA Cup in 1925-26 he scored 5 goals as Manchester City demolished Crystal Palace 11-4. Manchester City reached the final of the competition that year but were defeated by Bolton Wanderers 1-0. Thus Roberts never won a trophy in his time with Manchester City. He did however win four England caps.
