HSS Posted March 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Frank played at Love St on at least one occasion............... http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1979&GameID=197909190 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabuddies Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Great player, thought way out the box. Scored one of the best goals ever seen, even the referee (Clive Thomas) was applauding as he ran back to the halfway line. Found it at Frank Worthington Super Goal! - YouTube Edited March 23, 2021 by rabuddies added video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Slash said: Notorious shagger Frank Worthington’s aborted move from Huddersfield to Liverpool in 1972 is the stuff of legend. After failing his medical due to high blood pressure apparently caused by having too much sex, Worthington was sent to ‘calm down’ in Majorca, where he continued to enjoy “the fruits of being young” – namely (in no particular order): Miss Great Britain, a Swedish mother and daughter, and an unnamed Belgian beauty. He returned, failed the medical again, and joined Leicester instead. RIP Frank a life well lived. Wouldn't the high blood pressure come from the boozing that preceded the shagging? Still as you say a life well lived - RIP. Edited March 23, 2021 by Bud the Baker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Frank coming out wearing light blue silk trousers and Arabian like slippers to match. We couldn't believe what we were seeing and were pissing ourselves laughing. Fair play to him, as he said "Hello" to the pair of clowns chortling away at his sartorial elegance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old brain is deteriorating rapidly. Thanks for this reminder John. 👍 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Bolton had a decent team back then. Polish winger Tad Nowak who scored at LS had played against us for Legia Warsaw a few years earlier ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old brain is deteriorating rapidly. Thanks for this reminder John. 👍 We were 4-0 up after 20 minutes. Len Cantello (scorer of one of the stunning goals for WBA in that televised 5-3 win at Old Trafford) was then sent off and yet the 10 man Trotters scored through Worthington and Nowak. In typical St. Mirren fashion we "lost" the away leg 2-0 with Allardyce scoring both. Bizarrely, away goals only counted double at the end of extra time rather the normal 90 minutes. Cue Jimmy Bone scoring in the 120th minute to make the FT agg score 5-4 to Saints. We of course went on to further pump English sides Sheff. Utd and Bristol C. to lift the trophy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to get escorted out burnden park by police after being kept in after the final whistle, Bolton fans going mental after JB's extra time goal, happy days indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some interesting players in Leeds team. http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1982&GameID=198208090 As much as some interesting players they also were on the decline and had been relegated out of division 1 season prior and they were playing a team very much on the up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
