What a player... what a personality! His love for the game and humble honest confidence in his ability puts the nancy players of today to shame. Thanks for the memories Frank - RIP.

RIP a real unique Legend .Thank you for all you did for Birmingham KRO 💔😞

Rip Frank Worthington, one of the true greats.

I was at that Huddersfield v West Ham Cup Match at Leeds Road, as a 13yo lad, and Frank was right, they played W Ham off the park - and won 4-2. Great day. RIP Frank: great player, great character.

Great game it was Andrew! Was there too

My absolute favourite player ever. Not an establishment shill but a true legend and lover of life. Bolton Hero. Never forget. RIP Frank

What a player thanks for the memories Mr Worthington RIP

Loved the man. What a player & socialised amongst us. Big American cars & blond girlfriends. RIP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

So interesting! I remember when I was little growing up in southern Sweden and Frank Worthington played for Mjällby AIF in our top league. I always followed my dad (former goalkeeper for Helsingborg) to the games. Frank was a big hero in southern Sweden back then. A few years ago I read an interesting interview with him in a Swedish football magazine. He said that Hanöhus was his favorite club when he looked back! Ha ha! Hanöhus was a night club back then in southern Sweden! ;-).

One of my favourite ever footballers. What a talent. And such a nice bloke. RIP, Frank.

A fabulous footballer. I saw him play a few times and once he had that ball under control it was difficult to dispossess him. It was Leicester’s massive gain when he failed the medical at Liverpool. I was aware he had been ill but it was still a shock to hear Frank had passed on. R.I.P. Wortho.

Another legend lost 😔 😔 RIP Frank YNWA

In fitted right into the Southampton side when he was there.Quality.Keegan, Shilton , Holmes ,Channon Worthington...a golden era. God rest you Frank.

Such a talented footballer, and a very nice guy to boot. Miss you Frank !

R.I.P frankie! One of the best players to play for Huddersfield town!

i loved it when he came to Birmingham City and i rated him highly

watched the full interview, legend. i supported everton as akid , we lived about 35 miles from leicester, so in early 75 when i was 12 my old man took me over to leicester to watch them play everton, everton won 2-0 , but frankie wortho was playing, so we went back and back , until he left in about 78-79.never went again saw him score two goals overhead kicks from the 18 yard line in one game away to coventry,one was ruled out ,i think keith weller was offside,unreal , sure i didnt dream it lol

He was class very good footballer rip from Barry and all at Birmingham city God bless

Supreme. Player. And a legend. R.i.P

What a player. RIP

he comes over very well. humble.

What a brilliant player and what a great guy

A great player and good friend blessed with genius with a football, God bless you Frankie , HTAFC and England legend

RIP Frank 🙁 Legend.

Big Frank was an exceptional player and I've seen them all including the likes of Jimmy Greaves, George Best and Colin Bell. He was at least on a par with them. Probably he was the last world class player the UK has had. I did see his 'goal' against Ipswich live as I was a season ticket holder at Bolton then. Unusually, I was also on the railway end where the goal was scored, as I was late getting to Burnden park that day.

Frank was so likeable you can imagine it must have been great playing in the same team.

One of my all time favourite English players he was special not like these over rated ones these days? He played in a great Leicester CFC team I followed for years. RIP Frank 🙏

Very skillful player always something different beautiful touches and scored goals that others could not manage

What a brilliant interview. I lived through his era as a footballing boy. His name liveth forever.

The mold was broken when big Frank was born totally brilliant unique and a mavaric football from the good old days unlike now

Great interview, great man. RIP.

HUDDERSFIELD v WEST HAM F A Cup early 70s 4 2 win best ever game in my 60 years following my great town team. Also against some of the best England players ever produced.

Rip a true footballer and local hero

Frank was a great footballer and genuine bloke met him a few times he was living in West huddersfield

Leicester City fan here, did not see Frank play for us just before my time, however me and the old man watched him play when he managed Hinckley Town (local leics team) he just sat in the centre circle all game on a mud heap pitch no one could get near him. Got a terrible ball fired at him from about 10 yards caught first time flicked it outside of the heal 30 years down the right perfect for the winger to run onto. My dad turned to me and said "now you can see why I bang abou him imagine what he was like 15 years ago", pure class. About 15 years ago he did an evening with at pub in Hinckley, he hung around after we had a couple of drinks with him never seen my dad like that before or since he was like a star struck school kid and loved every minute of it. Like Reactions:Fugazi and LGFOX

I was in the paddock directly in line with the goal he scored... It was sublime. A moment i will never forget and will remember fondly. That was when football grounds were real places of atmosphere and passion. Not the plastic dumbed down stadiums we have to tolerate now.

No characters like this in football these days mores the pity. V talented player who knows what he might have achieved had he gone to Liverpool great career none the less. Rest in peace and thanks for the memories.

M J R Don revie picked him to play for England the players were assembled at the airport and Frank walked in wearing a lime green suit and a ten gallon hat Don revie said who the hells that one of the players said that is Frank Worthington he was a character

Look forward to seeing Part 2

That's why Bill Shankly refused to sign him. He was due to sign for Liverpool ..........then it was all off. We were told by City's Mike Summerbee on a football special train from London Euston, after Man City had played Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Apparently, Frank had tested for a 'dose', and Shankly said no .

RIP

All of the players like Frank say the same thing. Practice, practice and more practice. There isn't a secret - you just have to be bloody daft for a bouncing ball. He's gone but definitely not forgotten.

RIP...Frank

Any Frank Worthy fan should watch Bolton Wanderers final game at Burnden Park .... he is on the punditry team with a young Sam Allardyce ( a few years before he got BWFC job) they bounce off each other and are very in detail about 70s football, with an obvious Bolton bias, and a good insight into that stage.

Frank had all the skills to be a truly great player but not the attitude. When he was on song he was a joy to watch.

Fab frank

RIP god bless you sir

I was named after him :)

Brilliant at Brighton for one season.

Top Top bloke Frank most of these so called strikers would not be good enough to clean his boots

His daughter teaches me :)

IAN GREAVES SUPERWHITE ARMY!

Average player giving an average interview.

+Steve No Steve. This man in no way is a legend, except maybe in his own mind or the minds of died-in-the-wool fans of his former team. Legends include Churchill, Roosevelt, Ali, Pele, Sobers, et al. Not this jerk.
