A bit of a dude in his day by all accounts, RIP Mr Worthington, I forgive you for “that” goal.
Crikey he wasnt all that old was he? Reads like it might have been alzheimers. Always looked like a gypsy didn't he? Interesting that high blood pressure caused Liverpool to call off his signing yet he went on to play many more years at the top. Bit like Asa Hartford with his hole in the heart that never affected him. Maybe if that signing had gone through in '72 Liverpool might never have bought in KMD in '77. They brought Kenny in to replace Keegan but if Frank had been there they might have looked at other options. Sliding doors.

RIP frank, thanks for the memories.
Wasn't it because of him Keith Weller wore tights during a Leicester game?
How come Johnny Giles was a foot taller than Billy Bremner in The Damned United? They were both small.

Crikey! Poor old Paul Mariner, just as England finally get into a final. Brain cancer can't be a good way to go.
I rem him and Rafferty playing for Plymouth and giving us such a hard time in our promotion season. A Chorley lad who we should have spotted for ourselves.
On a comical note, if this is the right time and place for it I always thought he looked like the extra head on Zaphod Beeblebrox too.

I remember him as well. My Brother played with him as well as Micky Walsh. Our kid had a trial at Wolves (old 1st Division) whilst the other two had trials at lesser clubs; he didn’t bother with Wolves as he did not see much of a career, or money, in football

RIP Paul, scored more England goals than Matthews, Chivers, Francis, Sheringham, Barnes, Gascoigne etc etc
Der Bomber's gone now! A great goal scorer but never ever a scorer of great goals. Knocked us out of the World Cup in Mexico '70 if my memory serves me correctly. Ravaged by dementia is seems.

Must say I never knew that back in the day he had an alcohol dependency too.

World Cup-winning England striker and Tottenham's record goalscorer Jimmy Greaves dies at the age of 81.

I'm amazed that he got to 81 after what he was like at one time with drink.
Just read this.... Tottenham said Greaves possessed "immaculate ball control, great balance and such composure in front of goal that he rarely spurned an opportunity". Bloody hell! How could we use a player like that right now!

The old Riverside had a grandeur the new stand sadly lacks.
