[Albion] Frank Worthington RIP

Change at Barnham · Mar 23, 2021

Sad news.

7 goals in 31 appearances for Brighton in 1984-85 season.
An absolute magician with the ball at his feet.

Great player and a life led to the full.

Sad day for so many football fans across the country.

RIP Frank. What a character he was. I remember watching him in awe in the warm up, juggling the ball, on his last game for us v Sheff Utd in 1985. Absolute magician with the ball!

Lenny Rider · Mar 23, 2021

We only had a brief flirtation with him at the end of his career, but his goal against Wimbledon at the Goldstone in late 1984 will live with me forever.

RIP Frank, you truly were a legend.

That’s sad, another hero gone.

That goal against Ipswich, for Bolton.

I was about 9 when he played for us so some of my first football memories involve him. Probably the first big name player winding down his career that I remember us signing but was still class. How did he manage to play for another 13 teams after us?

RIP Frank.

Another level, fond memories RIP Sir.

Worried Man Blues · Mar 23, 2021

Cool cat with silky skills, thanks Frank. RIP

JC Footy Genius · Mar 23, 2021

Sad news, it was a pleasure to watch him play for us. As well as his immense skill he also wore possibly the tightest shorts I have ever seen on a football pitch.

RIP

Ooh it’s a corner · Mar 23, 2021

RIP Frank - brilliant entertaining footballer

Prince Monolulu · Mar 23, 2021

Love to see the ref running back applauding that special goal.

A great, maverick player, when we also enjoyed Bowles, Currie and Hudson too.

Seemed to have a full life.

RIP.

R.I.P Frank Worthington....

A real legend, such a hero when i was a kid, plus he loved his rockabilly..

R.I.P cool dude Frank

Sometimes he would wonder around the pitch, like captain lazypants, but then he would just pull out a worldy...
Ok he was not in his pomp when he came to us, but he was utter class...

That season 84/85 will live with me forever.

Yes Lenny,that goal against Wimbledon was something special

Chicken Run · Mar 23, 2021

Luck enough to see him play for us, bit of a folk hero to us, a mate of mine’s dad was a cabby and picked him up at that nightclub on the A23 at 6am on a Saturday match day, he asked to be dropped straight to Newtown Road and was in quite a state too, he played that afternoon!

RIP Frank. A great player and showman
