The Frank Soo Foundation

We did it!!! Frank Soo receiving his Honorary Cap at Wembley, 80 years to the month he last played for @England , again against Wales. The Soo family and everyone at the Frank Soo Foundation are extremely proud today. It was a long road, but we knew that working with all the stakeholders in football, to create a positive space for the ESEA Communities and using every opportunity in telling Frank’s story was the right way to go. Thank you FA for giving Frank the recognition he deserves. Debbie Hewitt, Mark Bullingham, Yasir Mirza, @daldarroch, @AnwarU01 and so many others. Thank you to everyone who has helped us in this momentous achievement! To everyone who helped share Frank’s story and spoke on our behalf, to ignite the imagination, to inspire. (will send a bigger post doing so in the next few days). We are often asked what Frank would think of all of this; I cannot answer for him, but I hope he would be looking down upon us with a smile. #FrankSooEngland6 #FrankSooCap #TheSmiler #FrankSoo #FrankSooFoundation #TheFrankSooFoundation #FrankSooEngland6 #englandcap #football #Footballer #FootballInspiration #ESEA #AsiansInBritain #TheFA #FSF #FootballPeople #DiversityInFootball #FootballDiversity #AsiansInFootball #ESEAinSports #SportingHeroes #FAforAll @kickitout , @SportingEquals , @CARGuk , @WeAreTheFSA , @TheLondonCCC , @CCCBirmingham , @BrentChinese , Watford Chinese Association. @stokecity , @LCFC , @LutonTown , @OfficialClarets , @stalbanscityfc , @DIF_Fotboll , @SUFCOfficial , @WatfordFC , @FulhamFC , @BrentfordFC , @ChelseaFC , @PrescotCablesFC , @HendonFC , @JubileeSilver . @surreyfa , @HampshireFA , @middxfa , @BirminghamFA , @EssexCountyFA , @Liverpool_CFA , @LondonFA , @AmateurFA , @HertfordshireFA , @LpoolSchoolsFA @EnglandFootball @SkySportsNews , @ResonateVoices , @BBCSport , @DevTrehan, @susanagardiner, @alan_zp_lau , @XeniolumM
