† Appearances (goals)

Frank Tollan was a Scottish footballer who played in Scotland and the American Soccer League.

In the fall of 1929, Toner signed with the New Bedford Whalers of the American Soccer League. New Bedford released him after fourteen games and the New York Nationals had him play for one game. He then spent time with an amateur team in the New York area. In March 1930, Toner joined Bethlehem Steel F.C.[1] Bethlehem withdrew from the league during the 1930 summer break and Tollan joined the New York Giants for the second half of the 1930 season as well as the 1931 season. He was part of one of the most improbable comebacks as the Giants took the 1931 League Cup after losing the first game, 8-3, to the Whalers. Toner scored the second Giants goal in that game.
