Remember him: Frank Wortington

[Promotion 2010]

Kom inn og skulle være en "reddende engel" våren 1982. Et svar på lagets manglende målteft. Mange av oss husket ham fra tippekampene for Leicester der har hadde flair og "målteft" som få.

For oss forsvant han etter denne første sesongen. Ønsket neppe 2.dividjonsfotball.

Likevel var han ganske så profilert også under oss. Kanskje den siste bohemen som trakk på seg den hvite trøya!

Frank Worthington (1972)
Vital ingredients Swedish girls, a move to Liverpool, an excess of sexual activity

The Seventies were football's Sixties - an era of promiscuous abandon - but even in those days Frank Worthington was a special talent. A notorious womaniser, the breakdown of his move to Liverpool in 1972 is one of the game's enduring urban legends. Having all but signed, the deal fell through because he failed a medical. The rumour was that he had a dose of the clap. In fact he had high blood pressure - but that was brought on by excessive sexual activity. Bill Shankly told him to have a break, and return for a second medical. Worthington went to Majorca, continued his lifestyle... and failed the medical again.

Biografien hans; "One hump or two", er morsom lesning!
