Hi Is this the Frank Swift you are looking for. I have a photo of Frank Swift.

He worked as a coke-keeper at Blackpool gasworks as a young man before playing football for Fleetwood Town as an amateur, and then professionally for Manchester City Football Club in October 1932. He was a large man, over 6ft tall, weighing in excess of 13 stone and reputedly with extremely large hands - ideal qualifications for a goalkeeper. He was also an amiable, entertaining and larger-than-life character who stood out from the crowd. Swift was part of the team that helped Manchester City to win the FA Cup in 1934 and the League Championship in 1937. He was captain of the England side twice, the first goalkeeper to receive this honour. His brother Fred also played in goal for Oldham and during the summer months they ran a pleasure boat together at Blackpool. Between 1932 and 1949 Swift made 338 League appearances for City and won 19 caps for England in a distinguished career. He went on to become a respected journalist after 1949 and was killed in the Munich air crash after travelling to Belgrade with the Manchester United team as a journalist for the "News of the World". Many believe he was the greatest British
