Frank Arok passed away this week, aged 88.

His contribution to Australian football remains immeasurable. His boundless enthusiasm and love of the game drew many in, players included.

In this special edition of the Fox Football Podcast, Adam Peacock speaks to three of Arok's former players.

Robbie Slater, who was plucked out of park football by Arok as a teenager to play for then NSL powerhouse St George.

John Kosmina, Arok's during his six years as Socceroos manager.

And Archie Thompson, the energetic teenager who Arok saw unlimited potential in when he was at Gippsland Falcons at the tail end of a magnificent career.

Farewell, Frank Arok; Australian football icon.
