Just heard on radio that our Super Frankie Worthy is suffering from Alzheimer's I'm sure I speak for all footy fans, not just Triottrrs fans when I wish him the very best. Swashbuckling legends don't come along very often but Frankie certainly was up there with Best, Marsh, Moore, Bowles and the like Best wishes Frankie

Sad news. Just beats JJ, Youri Djorkaeff and Franny Lee as my all time favourite. Been looking to see if the goal he scored away at QPR is on the web. Unfortunately not. I was lucky enough to be there. He got the ball on the half way line beat three men and pinged it into the top corner from the edge of the area (so my fading memory tells me). He mentions it in this interview for a Birmingham City Fanzine as a better goal than the Ipswich one. Anyone else there that day? www.joysandsorrows.co.uk/2012/02/on-the-back-seat-with-the-gabbie-cabbie-frank-worthington/What a legend...

I was also there thekraken, I don't remember him picking the ball up on the half way line, but it certainly was a spectacular goal and only saw it the other day on a programme, but it is available on youtube shows the ball being thrown in by Tony Dunn possibly then nodded on by Alan Gowling. Worthy collected ball in 18 yd box the did his trick and scored.

Thanks for the clip RTF. I was on the Embankment that day. But the game I mentioned was away at QPR in December 1978, not at Burnden. We won 3-1. I can't remember the other goals but certainly remember Frank's

My mistake Kraken. misread your post. I never tire of watching that goal RTF, but even better than the goal (not really) was the reaction, appreciation and hand clapping from the referee. Now you don't see that in today's Prem referee's.

It appears now that Frank is denying he has Alzheimer's I'm confused now!!!

You're confused?! You are not the only one! Me no understand! Daughter comes out in public to say daddy has alzheimer only for daddy to come out and deny it!! One of them has it wrong. Why would the daughter invent such a story? Perhaps he's forgotten that he was diagnosed?

Likely to be that Frank doesn't want this common knowledge so why would his daughter to take to Facebook of all things!
Doesn't seem right at all. The cynic in me thinks she may be playing for three words; power of attorney.
