:06:03. > :06:04.members will open next Arriva Rail North has

:06:05. > :06:14.so far not commented. He's been called one of the most

:06:15. > :06:17.important British players Playing for England,

:06:18. > :06:19.as well as Chelsea and But Frank Soo from Liverpool,

:06:20. > :06:23.the first non-white person to play for England has been largely

:06:24. > :06:25.overlooked in the history Now a new book tells the story

:06:26. > :06:29.of his life and career. He was a household name

:06:30. > :06:37.in the 1930s and 40s. His biographer says he was up

:06:38. > :06:40.there with the greats. So it's something of a mystery that

:06:41. > :06:43.Frank Soo has been all but forgotten During his lifetime,

:06:44. > :06:50.he was recognised to be an equal of Stanley Matthews,

:06:51. > :06:53.Tommy Lawton, Billy Wright, Anyone who knows about

:06:54. > :06:58.football in that era knows Frank Soo was with Stanley

:06:59. > :07:04.Matthews at Stoke city. He also played alongside him

:07:05. > :07:07.for England wearing the number six. During the war he joined the RAF

:07:08. > :07:10.and played as a guest player for other clubs,

:07:11. > :07:12.including Chelsea, But Frank Soo was half Chinese,

:07:13. > :07:18.the first non-white player His family believe he's been

:07:19. > :07:24.overlooked because of his ethnicity. Growing up it was the one thing

:07:25. > :07:27.that we all sort of clung onto, our great-uncle played football

:07:28. > :07:30.for England, did yours? It's a little bit frustrating

:07:31. > :07:34.when you're the grandniece, the great niece, of a man who played

:07:35. > :07:37.for England and he's the first Asian player to play for the national side

:07:38. > :07:42.and yet he doesn't The more I learned about him

:07:43. > :07:47.and his life, his achievements throughout his career,

:07:48. > :07:50.I feel he is an important figure in his own right,

:07:51. > :07:53.irrespective of his ethnic background he was actually one

:07:54. > :07:56.of the most important figures in 20th century football history

:07:57. > :08:00.in my opinion. Frank Soo spent the rest of his

:08:01. > :08:03.career after the war coaching, He died in 1991, largely unknown

:08:04. > :08:10.in his home country. Susan Gardner hopes her account

:08:11. > :08:13.of his life story will get him Alice Bhandhukravi,

:08:14. > :08:23.BBC North West Today. Well, after a bit of a cloudy start

:08:24. > :08:33.first thing this morning the clear skies are starting to come in now

:08:34. > :08:36.so it is brightening up quite nicely outside and in fact there was a bit

:08:37. > :08:40.of blue sky around first thing this morning in Chester, captured by one

:08:41. > :08:42.of our Weather Watchers. But with the clearer skies

:08:43. > :08:45.coming in it also means that it is going to start quite cold

:08:46. > :08:48.as we head towards late afternoon. The daytime temperature day

:08:49. > :08:50.a maximum of 8 Celsius. The wind continues to come

:08:51. > :08:53.from the North but it is A widespread frost developing

:08:54. > :08:55.overnight tonight because of the lighter winds

:08:56. > :08:57.and the clear skies. The temperatures that you start

:08:58. > :09:02.to see within the towns and cities, so close about -6, possibly even -7

:09:03. > :09:05.first thing tomorrow morning. A lovely bright, winter's day,

:09:06. > :09:08.though, albeit a very chilly day after that frosty morning with highs

:09:09. > :09:20.of three Celsius. Looking very cold there! That is all

:09:21. > :09:25.for now. I will be back with Roger and the rest of the team tonight at

:09:45. > :09:47.the deadly terrorist attack and should British tourists

:09:48. > :10:02.have been warned about the risks? We're looking for someone

:10:03. > :10:06.who can sing, someone who can move. Someone who can keep an audience

:10:07. > :10:09.on the edge of their seat. Something like this

:10:10. > :10:15.could change my life.
