President Michael Ricketts, the Jamaica Football Federation and the entire football fraternity, are saddened by the passing of former national player and outstanding coach, Frank Brown.
Brown, who was widely regarded as one of Jamaica’s best ever defenders, passed on Monday afternoon.
“He was a passionate individual who lived, breathed and taught football,” remarked Michael Ricketts. ”Frank will be remembered equally for his defensive abilities as a player and his outstanding work as a football coach and mentor. He represented Jamaica with distinction. He then went on to guide countless youths both in Kingston and the rural areas to a better life through football. It was no accident that so many of his charges went on to represent Jamaica. There are no words to express the debt of gratitude Jamaica’s football owe to Frank. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace,” Ricketts concluded.
Frank Brown was one of a short list of coaches who won both the Manning Cup and the DaCosta Cup.
