Just read on there that my footballing hero Frank worthington is unfortunately battling with altzeimers.

His son has just made a post.

Very sad day and let's hope he fights this the best he can.

Got a great ovation from us when he walked in front our supporters at Birmingham last season.

True entertainer.

That goal he scored for Bolton... just pure class.

Saw that post, sad news

Sad. A player who approached professional football in a singular way. I remember seeing him play for us, and he could still turn it on. I hope he has been able to enjoy LCFC's triumph, as he played more games for them than any other club (although I have no idea if he is on good terms with the Foxes).

He lived a great life so I just hope he doesn't suffer too much now

Just class goal, natural gift, can you imagine if that goal was scored now with the sky sports analysis, they would be going on about it for weeks. One of those mavericks. Great player. Pity he did not win more international caps. Wish him well.

Scored in my first ever Albion game - great character and brilliantly skilful player. Very sad to hear.

Such sad news. What an absolutely class player, the best I've seen play for us.

 

[glasfryn]

great player, absolute artist with a football, I can remember being so happy he became a Brighton and Hove Albion player,
all the best Frank

 

[portlock seagull]

I remember being really excited when he signed for us, same summer as Fash and Armstrong. Couldn't wait to get down the goldstone!

I dont want to play down Franks obvious talents but the best player you have seen playing for the Albion?. I can only assume that you haven't got along to see them in the last few years.

Been going since 72. Vicente aside, no one comes anywhere near close to Frank in the last few years.
