embankment Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 3 hours ago, Burndens Bogs said: Was lucky enough to see almost every home game Worthy ever played for us, he was worth the admission fee alone. Also consider myself lucky to have witnessed our victory at Ewood,Old Trafford and also his "wonder goal" v Ipswich . He reckoned he scored an even better goal at QPR that wasn't caught on camera sadly. The one at QPR was from his own half , looked up and drove it into the top corner. ALWAYS ; thought about it when the media were licking Beckhams arse when he scored from the half way line. Frankly was well inside the half. Cannot remember if we won the game. But its one of the goals I will never forget. Met him a couple of times. But the stand out one was at The Strawberry Duck. Spent about an hour chatting to him and Alex Higgins, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Egg Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 ^ we won 3-1. It might have been our last win in London for about 6 years too. I was pretty young then so missed some of his finest moments but a diving header at home to Mansfield stands out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted January 9, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2021 Last time I saw him was in William Hills in Manchester. He didn't have much to do with Bolton, got the feeling he didn't get many invites by the club. Huddersfield was still his big love though. I couldn't believe my eyes when I went in & the only person in the place was my childhood hero, have to admit to being a bit starstruck 😊. God bless you Frank & thank you for some awesome memories.

Rizlar Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 1 of my favourite players growing up the goal against Ipswich was the best goal I ever saw at Burnden still remember it now and we lost think Alan Brazil scored a couple. Met him many years ago at Haydick races had a chat and a pint with him great bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Very sad news. Met him at a sportsman’s dinner a good few years ago. He signed the menu “To the good times at Burnden”. Was obvious from his speech though that he was on the slide To be positive OT that night my best ever game with Ewood not far behind. Great memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great memories Yeh same, met him over 30 years ago when he was after dinner speaking at a sportsmans dinner, his speach was slurred but i assumed he was half pissed. He enjoyed a bevvy or 3 did Frank. Around 1978 my neighbour (ex traffic cop & big Whites fan)actually pulled him over for driving pissed one night. He let him off and told him to “ drive home carefully” Edited January 10, 2021 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Good Knee Posted January 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2021 I saw Frank doing a dinner at Breightmet United, it was the Friday night that we played at Hull , I had to miss Hull because I'd sponsored a table but the night was brilliant loads of lads had radios listening to the game and with every lull in the game the place erupted in renditions of " Oh Frankie Frankie" .He was fighting a losing battle trying to do his speak and eventually sacked it and just got pissed with everyone, brilliant night.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 10, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2021 Did anyone see him on ‘Come dine with me’ with Ruddock, Fashanu and Carlton Palmer a few years ago? Very entertaining. His Mrs was going out with a musician from Queen or The Who I think it was. He just said I went back stage and took her off him. Typical Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
