Francis "Frank" Evans (born 18 August 1942) is a British-born matador, the most senior form of bullfighter, known as "El Inglés" (The Englishman.)

[2] He was first interested in bullfighting on hearing his father's stories of watching fights when going into Spain from Gibraltar during World War II.

In 1963, aged 19, on his first trip abroad (to attend a wedding in Spain) he witnessed his first bullfight at the Corpus Christi festival in Granada.

His first professional fight as a novillero came in Montpellier in France in 1966,[5] following a mix-up by the promoter, who believed he had booked another English fighter called Henry Higgins.

[11] In 1988 Evans made an extended appearance on the After Dark topical discussion programme on Channel 4, alongside among others Katie Boyle and Miriam Rothschild.

In 2009 it was reported that threats from animal rights activists had led Waterstones booksellers to abandon booksigning sessions for Evans' autobiography in Liverpool and Manchester.

[9] It was also reported that Evans had previously received death threats, and that the post office had intercepted a parcel bomb intended for him.
