This vastly experienced defender has been an inspiration for Hibs since arriving at Easter Road in February 1999. A near-cult figure with the club's fans, he led them to a place in the Scottish Cup final in 2001. Frank began his senior career with Sochaux and later played Marseille, Monaco, Atalanta, Strasbourg and Montpellier. He was a member of the Marseille team that won the French championship on three occasions and played in the 1993 European Cup final when they defeated AC Milan only to have the title taken from them at a later date due to irregularities. Franck also won 39 caps for France between 1988 and 1993.
