I can't remember the match in great detail but do remember we dominated and Worthington was brilliant. God bless you Frank! Had a Christmas party the same night at Bolton Cricket club, went to the game and on to the party ... I was a fucking mess that night I can tell Quote

I’ve just remembered one thing that many of the Man U fans went home at HT the embankment emptied well before the 90 minutes was up, but still can’t remember the bloody game. I was in the manny road paddock, surrounded by the fuckers, but it was eerily empty with 15 mins to go Quote

I had the white shirt with Umbro trim which was worn all the time and then stored in my mums loft until she moved and threw it all out. I also wagged an afternoon off school to go to the opening of his clothes shop in town. Thanks for the memories Frank. RIP. Was his shop on Mawdsley St? Quote

Mounts Kipper Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 For those who’ve never seen Frankies pre match warm up which he did in front of the Burnden paddock. Here you go. https://www.facebook.com/groups/188527855577040/permalink/368497690913388/ Quote
Johnnyrotten Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/19180390.frank-worthington-passes-away-72-tributes-bolton-wanderers-team-mates/ Some good quotes from BW players in this article for anyone that's not seen it. As an aside, Peter Nicholson reminisces about that volley Worthy scored at City in 78/79 and claims to have put the cross in, it was Roy Greaves! And he thought Reid equalised with a pen, but that was a different game a year later when Worthy had left. I remember that game as my first ever away game, was sat in City end, their fans singing "City are back" when Tueart put them 2 up. Loved it when we came back to 2-2 with Reid's last minute pen.
