Franck Queudrue (born August 27, 1978) is a French association football player.
Queudrue is a French B international defender, who currently plays for English Premiership football team Middlesbrough. He joined Middlesbrough on loan from French club Lens in October 2001. When available, he often occupies the left-back slot of Steve McClaren's team, but is also renowned for his free kick and penalty converting ability.
Franck is well liked by his team mates. He became popular with fans when he scored in his second game for the club - against North East rivals Sunderland. Queudrue impressed enough to earn a permanent move in May 2002. However, 'French Franck' as he is otherwise known, is also recognised for his poor disciplinary record. His five yellow and three red cards in the 2002/03 season contributed hugely to Middlesbrough missing out on a place in the UEFA Cup through the Fair Play League. Nevertheless, Franck has the chance to look forward to European football in the future, he was part of the Middlesbrough side who beat Bolton Wanderers to win the 2004 League Cup final.
