Frank Worthington's Life - Maverick On & Off The Football Pitch

[@tonyc2837]

I met him on a beach with my young son in Lanzarote about 20 years ago. He came across as a truly nice guy as well as being an exceptionally talented footballer.

[@philmuskett265]

A life well lived. A fantastic footballer with a twinkle in the eye.

[@jeffhartley8888]

What a player as a Bolton fan and was at the Ipswich game said to my wife they will be showing that goal for everyone Frank a true legend. Thanks for the video.

[@anneliamohara2842]

Always loved Frank ! Great player that goal against Ipswich !! God Bless him !☘️

[@thinkofitthisway7804]

Worthington, Marsh and Bowles......the greatest England forward line that never was. Supported by a similarly overlooked midfield.......Alan Hudson, Duncan McKenzie and Tony Currie.

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

Having a laugh, Peter Osgood, was better than Worthington, Marsh and Bowles put together, agree on Hudson and Currie, less said about McKenzie the better.

[@lawtonloraine4144]

Great guy, I first saw him in the fa cup tie against Birmingham in 72, then he played for the blues, then I met him in Marbella around 84, fantastic person, sorry he passed away so young. I never forget seeing him from the tilton road end as I hung on the railings as one of 58000 blues fans all standing and swaying with nowhere to pee.

[@flynnnnnnnnnnn]

He didn't pass away young, he drank like a fish and still got to 72

[@lawtonloraine4144]

@@flynnnnnnnnnnn I’m from Sardinia we live into our hundreds so 72 for us is young, but yes he liked to party till the end

[@flynnnnnnnnnnn]

I am from Ireland, would average around 80😂, In Sardinia, that would be disappointing for sure. @lawtonloraine4144

Supper talented footballer ❤

[@alanmansell9845]

Great player !

[@I-SelfLordAndMaster]

He used shop for clothes in my uncles shop. Back then I was playing football with the likes of Gary Lineker at schoolboy level, he always used to tell me to keep going don’t give up.

[@CARLIN4737]

Played for Brighton for a season or two an absolute swordsman and ladies man.

[@ewanmee8622]

Impossible to dislike Frank, even though he took our dustbin 😂

[@johnsutton3600]

one of a few great players and personalities of that era who walked to their own rhythm and damm the torpedoes.

[@teamblitz1990]

Frank Worthington would be worth a fortune in these days of transfer fees

[@paulheyes8100]

Ooo franky, franky. Legend

[@DavidJones-jy5qn]

A genius, a great Character 👍👍👍

[@KeithWard-dz2yf]

Wat a player, gifted footballer , but like a lot of players of that generation, Alan Hudson, Stan bowls, Peter osgood, George Best , Malcom Mcdonald, Charlie George, just couldn't behave themselves. Just imagine the value of them players in today's market. Frightening. Mind you, they enjoyed themselves😂😂

[@KeithWard-dz2yf]

I remember years ago , we went to watch the Blues against Ipswich, in the FA Cup we lost, nightmare journey back, got back to the old Skandles in Solihull, and in there was, Frank Worthington, Tony Coton, Noel Blake, Mark Dennis, Pat Van de Hawe, Keith Bertshin, missed as farts😂😂 happy days

Frank had some style

[@mrtecsom6951]

He was one of the speakers at a sportsman dinner at Sheffield Utd years ago, couldn’t believe it,players like Frank and Rod Marsh I absolutely idolised when I was growing up in the 70s. When he found out I was a Villa supporter he proceeded to go through virtually the entire team as to how crap 💩 they were. A certain Mr Collymore came in for some particular stick 😃 At the meal I was sat in the middle of Frank and Norman Whiteside, they both asked for my autograph 😁

[@simonprodhan5050]

magnificent player and a great character like all those 70s mavericks, i don't recall him wearing ladies tights however, do you mean his old leicester team mate keith weller? weller famously wore white tights during the winter of 78/79 which was very cold as i recall, i think he wore them in a cup tie, it certainly wasn't frank who of course had left leicester by then

[@Cliff589]

total class frank, aka elvis.

[@kennethdrewary1094]

Bill Shankly tried to sign him back in the early 70s.

[@derekskinner]

He sadly failed the medical..

[@kennethdrewary1094]

@derekskinner he had high blood pressure, so was told to go to Majorca and chill out, hoping that would help. He just partied, lol.

[@stevecowley3238]

Did he wear white tights thought that was Keith Weller But what a player
