I immediately thought of that cup game when I heard he died.
I was at that game too and he was on a different level.
I was hoping he would sign for us when he left Huddersfield but he was another one that got away.
Just imagine him alongside Brooking
Great player and entertainer

That Bolton goal he clipped it over Terry Butcher and later told him he would have had better view of the goal itself sitting on the stand.

Met him on Troulos Beach, Skiathos probably 10 years ago. Lovely bloke. Spent time chatting with anybody who approached him. Respect to a great player and good bloke.
BTW That goal deserves a hand clap from everybody

I remember watching the 6-2 home win v Leicester in 74-75. Frank scored both of their goals, but we won 3-1 in each half.
He was always the showman and a bit of a maverick. R.I.P.

Absolute legend. Hero of mine when I was little. The other one from that era I used to like watching was Peter Barnes at City.

I like the story about his aborted move to Liverpool.
After signing, he initially failed the medical due to high blood pressure. Bill Shankley told him not to worry, and suggested a week's break in Majorca to relax.
'Worthington’s holiday consisted of seven days of heavy drinking involving two blonde Swedish females, a night with Miss Great Britain and an ‘encounter’ with another woman at the airport.
Worthington then did his medical again and, unsurprisingly, his blood pressure was even higher – the move was off and Shankly sent some flowers to Worthington’s mum.'
Great player. RIP

One of the great mavericks when the game had plenty of similar characters, sadly such people are largely absent these days.

One goal he scored sticks out when playing for Bolton.....he had his back to goal in the penalty area, surrounded by defenders he knocked the ball over his head then swivelled on a six pence and volleyed the ball in the net. Top drawer!

Re: Frank Worthington has bought the Farm

oh no, sad news. RIP Frank.
One of my favourite, if not my favourite non-West Ham player. Always the showman, long hair 70s style even when he went bald on top, great skills and played the game with a grin on his face. Produced the unexpected.
Always remember he loved the banter with the UP crowd. Before one game he was doing some warm up exercises but spent most of the time chatting to fan who had got in early. A couple of old dears with West Ham scarves spent 10 mins excitedly chatting with him in that "ooohh young man" way :-)
RIP
