uttoxram75 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 One of the best players of his generation, a maverick, an entertainer, probably a nightmare to manage, but what a tremendous footballer, RIP Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImARam2 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 This last 12 months English football has lost some of the best footballers from the 60's & 70's, as it was only yesterday Peter Lorimer and now Frank Worthington (RIP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Blimey! Is this what happens when you start to get on a bit... all your boyhood heroes start dropping at what seems like regular weekly intervals? Yet more sad news. Yet another sad day. And yet more great memories laid to rest. Worthy by name. Worthy by nature. Thanks for the showmanship. Rest easy, Sir. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 He was of the George best, Stan bowlers and Rodney Marsh type wasn't he? Read his autobiography - hilarious and hair raising in equal measure.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Brazil scored 2 at Half Time to put Ipswich ahead! A certain Sam Allardyce equalised on 90 mins, only for John Wark to steal it for the cheating tractor munchers after the final whistle! Well, something like that, anyway! Facts, figures and line-ups here... https://www.worldfootball.net/report/premier-league-1978-1979-bolton-wanderers-ipswich-town/ (I don't do screenshots!)

Yes, I think I’m correct in writing if it wasn’t for Worthy’s medical issue, there would have been no Toshack\Keegan partnership, the former being signed as his replacement. Went on to prove the medical men wrong though. One of my favourite footballers that never played for us. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Gosh- quite a shock that. RIP I did wonder at one time whether we should have signed him when he left Huddersfield 1972 when the got relegated. trevor cherry went to Leeds at the same time, I assume he didn’t appeal to Cloughy. I read once about him turning up for England duty wearing a cowboy hat and a pancho. It might have been Colin Todd’s biography. Alf Ramsay’s jaw dropped and he said “what the f...k is that?” ?

TimRam Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Always good to watch was Worthie. I recall him wearing white 'long-johns' during a cold spell and causing a stir for a match. Not sure if was deliberate on his part or not but raised eyebrows! He certainly was a character as well as a great footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Rock 'n' roll footballer. Seemed like a proper character, almost the quintessential striking ace. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The first I heard of Frank was when Huddersfield played Derby. Their fans spent the whole match chanting "Oh, Frankie Frankie, Frankie Frankie Frankie Frankie Worthington!" They were probably surprised that we had placards up saying "Worthington E"! RIP Frank, sympaties to your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
