Frank began the path from the victory over Bradford City with a score of 2: 0, and the first goal in his career scored in the gate "Brighton and Hove Albion".In January 1996, West Ham took the young promising football player, but luck as if he changed Lampard: when he went out on the field, the game was unevenly. The season ended with an open ankle fracture. At the 31st minute of the match against Aston Villa, Frank was carried out from the field under the whistle of the crowd.
