THERE’S A very good reason<br />
they call Frank Endacott, Happy<br />
Frank.<br />
He’s generally got a smile on<br />
his face – like the one we have on<br />
page 1 today.<br />
Frank and his son Shane,<br />
another good league player in<br />
his day, have taken over a car<br />
yard in Moorhouse Ave – not<br />
too far from the former home<br />
ground (Lancaster Park) of what<br />
was once, but not so more, rival<br />
football code.<br />
<strong>The</strong> business venture is Frank’s<br />
latest since he gave up his coaching<br />
days which spanned the<br />
tremendous Addington sides of<br />
the early 1980s, the Kiwis, champion<br />
British side, Wigan, and of<br />
course the Warriors.<br />
He was recently, and deservedly,<br />
inducted into the Sporting<br />
Legends of Canterbury, and is<br />
still a player agent for the big<br />
league clubs in the NRL and<br />
English competitions.<br />
“At 70-years-old I’m putting<br />
more hours into the day than I’ve<br />
ever done in my life,” he said.<br />
“You never stop learning no<br />
matter how old you are.”<br />
Says it all, really.<br />
