I used to train at the gym up John bright street in the 80s. Pretty sure Frank was there coaching, remember seeing Rob McCracken sparring there too

I love the work the Frank O'Sullivan does providing young people with an exit from adversity... People love and respect him for his passion with people that know no better he cares for the unknown person and he makes people feel like they have a place in life... Nice Job Frank at the Birmingham City ABC..
