Frank Evans (bullfighter)
Francis "Frank" Evans (born 18 August 1942) is a British-born bullfighter, known as "El Inglés". He is reputed to be the only British bullfighter currently working professionally. He now holds Spanish citizenship.
==Early career==
The son of a butcher, Evans had started out with ambitions to be a rugby league professional.〔 He was first interested in bullfighting on hearing his father's stories of watching fights when going into Spain from Gibraltar during World War II. In 1963, aged 19, on his first trip abroad (to attend a wedding in Spain) he witnessed his first bullfight at the Corpus Christi festival in Granada. A subsequent reading of the autobiography of Vincent Hitchcock, the first professional British Bullfighter, persuaded him that it was possible for a Briton to train as a bullfighter.〔 In April 1964 he attended a training school in Valencia.
His first ever fight at a village festival was a disaster, with the bull running away with his cape, which had to be rescued by children. (Evans has described the event as "very Benny Hill"〔). His first professional fight as a ''novillero'' came in Montpellier in France in 1966, following a mix-up by the promoter, who believed he had booked another English fighter called Henry Higgins.〔 However, by 1969, and after only three professional fights and struggling to earn a living and pay for equipment, Evans returned to Salford.
Back in Salford, he began a successful kitchen business.〔 He was also an associate of George Best, at one point being his "unofficial manager".〔
