Man \yith soccer’s golden touch


THE man with the golden boot — th a t’s Clitheroe


striker Frank McDougall. The former Scottish striker has


just received another pair of boots from sponsors and hopes they will help him to find the back of the


net for his new club. Now the fans are hoping that


Frank, the proud owner of the European Golden Boot Award, will help fire Clitheroe to promo­


tion this season. The award was presented to the


striker for finishing the season as top scorer in Europe, beating the


likes of Gary Lineker and Kerry Dixon. Richard Turner and Sons, of


Clitheroe, are sponsoring Big Frank, pictured on the right try­ ing them for size — proving that he is not too big for his boots!
