Born on 10th March 1924. Francis 'Frank' Mitcheson was a former Doncaster Rovers (22-5), Crewe Alexandra (181-34) and Rochdale (50-8) inside forward signed from Stalybridge Celtic making 31 Mossley appearances and scoring 6 goals in the 1956/57 season. He reluctantly had a spell as Caretaker manager following Les Bardsley's sudden resignation agreeing to take charge until Mossley lost a game which they finally did having been unbeaten in 10 games under his leadership. He handed over the reins to the Ken Brierley in late October 1956 and reverted to a purely playing capacity. Frank Mittcheson died in 1981.
