Purrel Fränkel (born 8 October 1976) is a Surinamese-born Dutch footballer, who plays for Eredivisie side De Graafschap.
Fränkel is a defender who was born in Paramaribo and made his debut in professional football, being part of the Telstar squad in the 1994-95 season. He also played for De Graafschap before joining Vitesse.
In 2003 he scored an own goal against FC Twente when the match was just 19 seconds old. This was an all time record in the Eredivisie, but it was broken three years later by Arnold Kruiswijk of FC Groningen, who, in a match against Heracles Almelo, managed to pass his own goalkeeper after 9 seconds.
In March 2009 he was suspended for a month by the Dutch FA after testing positive on smoking cannabis.[1]
