Northampton Town Football Club

Long serving Club Historian Frank Grande has been named the EFL League 2 Supporter of the Year after being nominated by the club for the award.

Frank has been a huge help to the club over many years, writing many books on Northampton Town Football Club and contributing to the matchday programme for nearly 40 years.

Chairman Kelvin Thomas said, "We are delighted to learn of this award for Frank.

"He has been a huge help and a big friend of the club over many decades and this is a wonderful tribute to Frank and his family and is much deserved.

"We are really fortunate to have the support of some wonderful people at this club. This is the second year in succession our supporters have been recognised after Mustafa El-Bayati was named the EFL Supporter of the Year last year and that is a huge tribute to the individuals concerned. It shows how much this club means to our supporters and how much those supporters mean to the club.

"We know that Frank will be very proud of this award and we are certainly very proud to call Frank a friend and a fan of Northampton Town.”

The EFL Awards take place in London on Sunday April 7th.
