Frank Facer

Francis Henry Facer (8 August 1919 – 16 January 1978) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s and 1950s at North Sydney and St George.

He was a hooker in the North Sydney 1943 Grand Final loss to Newtown although he had been restricted in the game due to a leg injury.

In the middle of the 1970s he lost a leg to the disease, but battled on until his health declined by late 1977, although he did live to see his beloved St. George Dragons win the 1977 Premiership.

[7] It was a sad day for the St George club with many people turning up for his funeral at Woronora Crematorium, Sutherland on the 18 January 1978.

His wake was held at St George Leagues Club, where press reports of the time stated that over 2000 attended.
