Frank Lowy OK
Frank Lowy appears to have survived his dramatic fall at Sunday’s A-League final.
He has issued a statement saying: “I want to thank everyone for the concern shown and support for me after my tumble at the Grand Final. I think everyone was as shocked as I was, but I’m grateful to be resting comfortably. I have a sore shoulder which might take some time to fully recover, but I should be OK.
People everywhere, and especially football fans, have been so generous with their texts and tweets and other messages to me. Thank you. And thank you for supporting our beautiful game. Congratulations also to Melbourne Victory on a magnificent win.”
The Daily Telegraph reported: “And then, as Frank Lowy always does, he picked himself up with a smile and walked into the limelight.”
“Frank enhanced his legendary status last night by dusting himself off and presenting the trophy,” Football Federation Australia boss David Gallop told The Daily Telegraph.
