barrycowdrill Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Never had the privilege to watch this genius at work my dad is gutted which tells me enough. RIP frank. The working class footballer for the working class man Quote
Ani Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Top top man, really sad news. One of our greatest ever. I wore a headband for a short while because of him. He is forgiven. Edited March 23, 2021 by Ani Quote
FrancisFogarty Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I remember the day we signed him from Leicester and all the times at Burnden. He and others opened a schools all weather pitches up Jonny Fold when he was manager at Tranmere. About that time there were rumours of them moving Rovers to Wales. When I asked him he just replied 'Bollocks, I'm not going to Wales.' I used to go to Tranmere sometimes when they played Friday night and always got a wave. RIP Big FRank.

Popeye doyle Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Top player, a maverick who entertained back in the day and without doubt one of the best 3 players I have seen play for the whites. Thanks for the memories Frank, gone but never forgotten. Quote
bwfc2003 Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 54 minutes ago, Steejay said: Such sad news. He gave us at least three iconic moments in our history. OT away. THAT goal. Best of all, the winner at Ewood. RIP Frank - true Wanderers legend. You are forgetting - the double double against that lot - especially the injury time winner!!!! Quote
passmosster Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 He was a fantastic team player too. Remember watching us play Oldham at Boundary Park. It's one of the most exposed grounds and it was blowing a gale. The flight of the ball must have been very difficult to judge. Up front he never gave it away once. Head, chest, thigh, feet (or left foot to be exact) he brought it down and never gave it away once. Fantastic goal at QPR is still in my memory. Quote
Dr. Feelgood Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I'm actually teary eyed. The first BIG "you cannot be serious" signing I recall. A player who made it OK to be a Bolton fan again. Graceland's awaits you Frankie. Go & be disgraceful there. RIP Frank Stewart Worthington. Quote
TrickyTrotter Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Gutted. RIP Frank. Never forgotten. Responsible for 3 of my top 10 Wanderers moments. That Goal v Ipswich The brace in our win at Old Trafford in 1979 The Goal at Blackburn in 1978 Privileged to have witnessed them all. Quote
hughmungus Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 It’s a pity that the TV people “lost” the recording of the game at Old Trafford as it was a magical night with Frank directing with his wand like left foot. Quote
athywhite1958 Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 RIP Frankie, one of my heroes throughout the 70's, thanks for the memories and One Hump or Two? Quote
medwaywhite Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 A privilege to watch him play and score that goal ,what a player and character coming down manchester rd in a big American open top car with a beautiful bird at his side .RIP Sir thoughts and prayers to his family and friends Quote
