Playing career
Originally a fullback from the Newcastle rugby league competition, Frank Meighan trialled with the St. George club in early 1926 and was put under contract. Meighan spent 3 seasons at the Saints before breaking his leg in a trail match in early 1929 which resulted in a premature end to his Sydney career.[2]. He later played for Gunnedah, New South Wales in late 1929 before returning to Newcastle.[3] Meighan later became a funeral director in Newcastle.
Death
Meighan died in 1977 at Newcastle, New South Wales and was buried at Sandgate Cemetery. [4]

gollark: > Cherenkov radiation (/tʃəˈrɛŋkɒf/;[1] Russian: Черенков) is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. A classic example of Cherenkov radiation is the characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor. The phenomenon is named for Soviet physicist Pavel Cherenkov, who shared the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics for its discovery. (praise wikipedia, etc)
