What a footballer Frank Worthington was.
A brilliant striker, streamlined, classy, and a master of the football with a left foot to die for. A 26 year career with a multitude of clubs, and sadly, not a major trophy in sight.
It could have all been so different after signing for Liverpool in 1972. The Anfield Reds were about to embark on their most dominant period and Worthington would have been there at the outset, but he failed the medical. Some say he went for his check-up ‘under the influence’, but the official reason given was high blood pressure.
