Info:

- Initially as a defender, he managed to persuade Portsmouth manager Jack Tinn to use him as a left winger, and he has since played in both that role and as a central midfielder. He was distinguished by his high speed, excellent ball control and good aerial play, and was described as a "versatile player".

- Froggatt was a player with great speed, excellent ball control, and strong aerial duels.

- So successful in his new role, he remained in the center of Pompey's half-back line for more than two years and was selected nine times for this country in the position.

- Jack Froggatt was one of the finest players ever to have worn the royal blue colors of Pompey. 'Jolly Jack', as he became known, was a stocky, rumbustious player whose strong running and accurate shooting attracted England's attention late in 1949 and he scored on his debut for his country, playing outside-left in a 9-2 thrashing of Northern Ireland at Maine Road.

- He had alarming speed, excellent ball control and was very strong in the air, making him one of the most versatile Pompey players have ever had.

- One of his most memorable games was in the run up to the league championship in April 1949 when he scored a hat-trick of headers in a 5-0 away win at St James' Park in front of 60,000 Newcastle fans. Froggatt's scoring and talented agility won him deserved England recognition and between 1949 and 1953 he won the unusual distinction of playing for his country in three different positions, scoring twice in 13 full caps. His dashing wing play changed to solid centre-half dominance and very few opposing players got passed big Jack.

- Quote: “’True Grit’ by Frank Mclintock”
Jack Froggatt, the centre half, was another who would appear ponderous to the modern eye but he was a formidable player. He always had his sleeves rolled up and the top of his shorts rolled down to show off his gleaming, Vaselined muscles. He had the magnificent passer of the ball, and had won back-to-back championships with Portsmouth in 1949 and 1950.

- Quote: “’Jackie Milburn: A man of two halves’”
‘Jimmy Scoular, Jack Froggatt and Jimmy Dickinson, their international half-backs, were feared throughout the football land.’
