Frank Joyner (20 August 1918 – 25 April 1997)[1] was a Scottish football player and manager.

His first senior club was Raith Rovers,[1] where Joyner was part of a team that set a league goalscoring record during the 1937–38 season.[1] He was transferred to Sheffield United for £1650 in April 1938,[1] but his career was then interrupted by the Second World War.

Joyner initially signed up with the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) and played as a guest for Third Lanark and Chelsea.[1] He served in France behind German lines before returning to the UK and playing as a guest for Norwich City.[1] Joyner then served in south Asia for two years, achieving the rank of captain.[1]

After the war ended, Joyner signed for Dundee.[1] He then moved back to his first club, Raith Rovers, and played for Raith in a Scottish League Cup Final against Rangers.[1] Joyner later played for Hamilton Accies, Kettering Town, Falkirk, Forfar and Stirling Albion. He later managed Third Lanark and Stirling Albion.[1]
