Former-Stoke City player Frank Soo joins hall of fame

Former Stoke City and England player Frank Soo has been inducted into a Sporting Hall of Fame.

The late footballer played for Stoke City in the 1930s and 40s, and was the first from a Chinese or East Asian background to play for England.

His name has been added to the Stoke-on-Trent Sporting Hall of Fame, to coincide with the 90th anniversary of his debut for City in 1933.

The Frank Soo Foundation said the recognition was "absolutely amazing."

The hall of fame features the names of individuals who have shown exceptional levels of commitment, passion and dedication to their sport, said the city council.
