Frank Worthington Super Goal!

[jmings87]

Defence got owned

[chromeheart65]

great player to watch ,but dont put him up there with messi ,he was better than becks and those also rans for sure ,but england have a history of wasting talent ,hoddle,bowles, ,le tiss ,joe cole got this kind of thing coached out of him ,footballers like frank win matches not athletes,athletes keep you in the game ,

[dibble12003]

Can you imagine how animated people would be if Messi scored that goal today. It would be played endlessly on TV. Pure class! That's why people say that football isn't what it used to be and we never had to pay a fortune to go and watch.

[tigerarmyrule]

@dibble12003 You are 100% correct. I can say without one bit of hype that Frank Worthington was one of the 4 or 5 greatest players I have ever seen. For pure instinctive talent he rates with the very greatest. With Best, Platini, with any of them. Look at that goal. Two footed, calm and insightful. Classic Frank. Your point about Messi is right. Given High Def instant slo mo on manicured pitches with no tackling from behind and we'd have seen a hell of a lot of Frank on youtube as well.

[dibble12003]

@tigerarmyrule You're righturanrising and I DO say, "I'm not paying that!"

[uranrising]

@dibble12003 Nobody HAS to pay. Everyone CAN say, as they do about secondhand books, 'I'm not paying THAT!'

[talljetray]

im a bolton fan and i wish we still played like that

[zxychesatz349]

I'm an Ipswich fan but still totally acknowledge the sheer brilliance of the goal.

[notlobian4ever]

Greatest goal ever. And so I believe the ball bou behind the goal was a certain Mr Julian Darby! Proper BWFC legends pair of em!

[Damnblastify]

A ladies favourite at LCFC as I remember lol

[KushedOut1030]

Poor defenders never saw that coming

[SimonDolan]

The defender was like WTF!!!

[smallpebble7]

I was in the embankment that day, remember that goal, shame Ipswich won 3-2 :-)

[kronos66]

Stunning goal, remember it well.

[jmhowarth1]

There's only one Franky Worthy !!!!!

[musicmagpiethexiv]

0:31 so good even the ref claps...

[smeg423]

I was there! Magnifico!!

[GGreg2010]

I remember that goal from 30+ years ago.

[suckzinclee]

Saw him warming up at Spurs once. It was worth the price of admission on its own!

Quality player!

[bobbysuger]

awesome goal. when is this from?

[nobbytang]

Sorry its a dump goal , not because it was crap but because he scored it while wearing the white of BWFC , all I can say is remember Kevin Olsen

[Burnden66]

@nobbytang You complete saussage brained tool.

[leighwhite]

@nobbytang Get over it mong-a-long.

[The12ozBucket]

even the referee applauded that.

[pob3000tb]

ooooooooooooooh Franky Franky!, Franky Franky Franky Worthington. 

[monkeytown1000]

Brilliant goal and I'm a Manchester City fan.

ITV used to show it before their football progs

No, football did NOT begin in 1992....

[claptonbrucebaker]

@monkeytown1000 I think real football actually ended in 1992.

[eydiot909]

What a goal. And i've probably seen 1,000 times. What a goal !

[smeg423]

i was there - what a goal! Even the referee was clapping

[eydiot909]

@tomoutlane Does he still live in Outlane ?

[tomoutlane]

@eydiot909 yeah he does

[ollie705]

Reminds me of Matt le Tissier in the 1990s: a football genius who didn't or wasn't allowed to make it at international level...

[redmanthinks]

All time favourite goal, never tire of it.

[DaveBond21]

Brilliant. He was a character too, and played forever!!

[chrisspob]

Yes stella job right there

[DaveNightingale]

Useless fact about this goal.

The kid jumping up and down in the tracksuit behind the net when Frankie scores ended up playing for the club 10 yrs later.

It's Julian Darby....

[Chappers1967]

love how the ref applauds the goal!

[alexjefta]

Respect, very dreamy and the way it should be done...

how many years did Worthington spend in Bolton ?

[BigYid1604]

that was WORTHington watching!

[BoItonWanderers]

the goal's as good as my username.

[omarfrancis]

As much as people slate him for being too distracted by the women you can't blame him. If my footballing skill was half Marco Van Basten, half Michael Laudrup plus earning a good wage I would probably spend more time at the ladies toilets in nightclubs rather than on the training pitch.

[Hagibest]

fucking beautiful

[BambamLFC89]

fukn mad goal!

[PimpjuceNM]

Sick goal...defenders totally bamboozled :D

[422185]

LOL is that the referee applauding at 0:33

[kuzeinter]

WOW

[malango255]

I played a full round of golf once with frank and I didn't know it was him!

[leeperryismerry]

One of the best goal ever!

[haha08haha]

frank worthington. leicester legend! should of been capped more for england. leicesters answer to georgie best!

[19fugazi71]

saw this years back, fantastic goal.

[ifyouwantblood100]

shame bolton still lost

[HITTHESKINS]

ONE OF THE FINESTS STRIKERS TO EVER PLAY FOOTBALL.

HE WAS WANTED BY SANTOS . AND WOULD HAVE JOINED LIVERPOOL BUT FAILED A FITNESS TEST DUE TO A SLIGHT KNEE PROBLEM .

BRILLIANT FOORBALLER

[BLUSMIFF]

i dream of scoring a goal like that

[thecrazyknowledge]

TEKKERS

[explodingdock]

beautiful!

[cheekyhamsta]

Pure skill. I remember Mark Walters (btw criminally totally underrated) scored an even better goal similar to this for Villa v Northampton where he spun with the ball at his feet and deceived the defence before shooting in.

[984rtgh]

@cheekyhamsta Great goal by Walters. I was standing in The Hotel End behind the goal at The County Ground, Northampton and I swear the crowd even went the wrong way. Interestingly, The Cobblers almost took the lead shortly beforehand when Steve Massey's effort struck a post

[BoItonWanderers]

Shame Elmander doesn't do that... :/

[BourneRoses]

One of the greatest goals ever, good old Frankie Wortho aka Elvis.

[takineti]

a goal you usually only dream of!

[gsx1400madboy]

i was in the paddock when he scored that goal. he came over to us and dropped to his knees, the place went crazy. It

will remain with me always. Absolutley brilliant, the guy was a legend.

[MARTINCINHO10]

0:15 look at the referee, he claps the goal !!!

[PeckhamExile]

Legend who came from a time when footballers were real men and men of the epoepl as opposed to coked up, spitroasting, pissed up wife bashers..

[bazzabaz]

I would say the difference is, in those days they actually got onto the pitch pissed up!

[GaryWillSmith]

Amazing isnt it.... if some twat like Ronaldo had scored a goal like that the pundits would be wanking off over it for an eternity. God bless proper players like Franky Worthy!

[applebeatle]

The difference is..Wothy scored it..and Bolton twats will wank over it for eternity..hahahhah..enjoy relegation.

[applebeatle]

* Worthy *

[GaryWillSmith]

@applebeatle

And who rattled your cage? Was the job centre closed (if you know where it is)?

[applebeatle]

" Who rattled your cage? "

What an antiquated saying..last time I heard that Worthy was still playing for Leicester !

Yes..I know where the job centre is..don't need it though..I don't see what that has to do with this video..do you?

Oh no...you got tonked again...4 - 0....at home...how sad...hahahahaha..you poor fuckers !

You can change managers but you can't change the fact that you're fucking shit !!!

[GaryWillSmith]

well i cant argue with that can i? oh well done! give yourself a gold star!!  you've beaten someone who supports a lower team in an argument over who is more shit. what a shame your team (gobshites? sock robbers?) isnt quite as shit as mine eh! i hope this has helped you to further enjoy your sad existence.

[applebeatle]

@GaryWillSmith

You do go on...I had a job staying awake to read that reply.

Sock robbers..wtf ?

[applebeatle]

@GaryWillSmith

Forgot to congratulate you on another amazing result....keep it up,

you'll soon be in the bottom 3.

[sproutyDP]

The greatest goal ever

[TheLegendfamily]

Worthington just seemed to be able to pull goals right out of nothing, didn't he?

[joostisabelle]

the original midfield fancy dan

[Realbillball]

That's still one hell of a brilliant goal. Never a fan of any of the clubs he played for, but definately a fan of the player himself.

[chad6258]

i remember watching Frank Worthington when he was coming to the end of his career for Preston North End. brilliant player, and nice bloke too

[fairlieno7]

Did he not have a right foot! Seriously, one of the best ever. Look him up on wiki, it's over a dozen clubs.

[stuwanderer]

OMG What a fkn goal !!!

[984rtgh]

He also played for Birmingham, Southampton, Sunderland and had a spell as p/m at Tranmere. To think he almost signed for Bill Shankly's Liverpool, too.

[wickedwilluk]

and Leeds

[Christoffski]

@984rtgh Yes. As the story goes it was due to blood pressure. Unfortunately he wasn't as classy off the pitch as on it, but I've only ever heard rave reviews about his ability. I have only seen a handful of matches, but we definitely tried to sign him twice.

[postie502]

Frank was a class act,used to watch him at Filbert St back in the day.....truely gifted,great entertainer........LEGEND ! .......ps that goal was magic !

[kylo417]

great goal, even better coz it was against the scum

[LickSumba]

Here We Go Again! xD

[03wrightson]

saw frank worthington at a leeds game couple months ago

top man

quality goal

[jokergame]

Top player! If he had applied himself properly he could have been a world star but you always felt that half of Frank's mind was on distractions. Can't imagine how many clubs he played for; I can remember Huddersfield, Leicester & obviously Bolton but I think there were lots more.

[FIFTY2WEEKS]

My thoughts exactly

[DenOndeMister]

He even played a season in Sweden for Mjällby AIF, they have about three seasons in the top league to their name throughout their history.

[01895236467]

The Greatest Goal of all time!

If you get a chance, pick up his Autobiography. . ."One Hump or Two"

[IATM29]

Before Terry Butcher knew what had happened, I had spun past him kept my eye on the ball and used my technique to hit the far corner. I suddenly felt sorry for `Butch' but I could'nt resist saying to him as I pointed to the stand. That would've looked better from up there. Great goal but a shame that Bolton lost the game 3-2

[IATM29]

This is how Frank describes the goal in this months Back Pass magazine. How can u get tired of talking about something that was special? he say's.That was special to English football. But I would have said the same thing had Eric Cantona or George Best scored it. It was class. I got a flick from my old pal,Alan Gowling. 'Gowie' was my best front partner throughout my career.I controlled the ball with my head and remember juggling with the ball. There were four international defenders behind me.

[boothen74]

ipswich defenders coming out to catch bolton offside! Frank waits and scores one of the best goals till this day!

[rdmotorsport]

That really was some suspect defending from the Ipswich defence! It was bizarre, they all seem to jog together past the 18 yard line, leaving no-one behind the ball!

[Sheza58]

Ah memories....memories.

[kenmalUTUBE]

Well spotted hoody8889 - for spotting even the referee applauding this goal. I love that. It reminded me of Robin Friday's great goal being praised by Clive Thomas.

[vapour73]

thats why he played for city!

[ballynafeighbluedog]

frank was one of those players in the 70s who everybody loved and talked about.

[BC55]

It would have to have taken a bit of quality to score against the Ipswich defence in those days

Shame we're god awful now :p

[ratastewie91]

not quite nigel worthington though.....

[petehydes]

A leicester City fan here and loved Frank Worthington but this is his finest moment by far

[NapierDeltic55]

A Magic Goal Frank

for Super Bolton!!

[hoody8889]

anyone esle see that the ref is applauding the goal lol

that wouldnt happen nowadays

[richardwightman]

Great frank but why did you pay for a shit little club like bolton.

[langelaily]

We wasn't shit and mabee because in them days you didn't get the twats like Man U robbing everyones best players quite as much!

[HairyBosch]

I wouldn't worry about this Richardwightman twat. He even spelt his own name wrong on his profile......

COYW !!!!!

[GeorgeHurst08]

@langelaily That comment is a pure grammatical failure. You should quit life.

[langelaily]

@GeorgeHurst08 ..What comment?

[3riptorn]

@GeorgeHurst08 classic response,

[Christoffski]

@langelaily He failed a medical twice at Liverpool due to high blood pressure, so if we were in for him twice in those days you know he was something special.

[thetoon99]

@langelaily man utd buy most of the best players from abroad not british.

[langelaily]

@thetoon99 Yeah, but if they was as good as Frank Worthington they would! Rooney?

[thetoon99]

@langelaily well ok and well man utd are a top team they buy top young players and older 1s rooney was a top young player they signed him.

[breda83]

@langelaily  boo hoo

[charliecd001]

@richardwightman

[jimifawcett]

loved this goal, he was great at Leeds,anyone got his hatrick in the away leg against newcastle (league cup)

[leedsunited70]

Bravo foe Worthington & thanks for the clip.

[pjicleanair420]

wow

[sambwfc1]

What an outstanding goal

[zezimabignoob]

can i ask where do u get these soccer videos from. like where from the internet??

[langelaily]

My dad had it saved. I didn't get it from the internet.

[zezimabignoob]

ok then

[Deuteronomy100]

magic

[brainpower65]

loll all follow frank and he scores genius never seen this in my life

[TrevorTrunks71]

Apparently the Worthingtonmeister was being marked by Terry Butcher that day. He said to Tez 'You'd of got a better view of that from the stand'. Don't make them like that anymore. It'd be all fuckin slo-mo, Snow Patrol in the background. Shite

[nakatasnoodles]

Agreed

[luke93qpr]

brilliant

[peterglynnfilms]

I was there! Even the ref clapped!

[PiotrekSparrow]

Great control:D

[tothefinal]

Outstanding goal, I have been in the company of Frank Worthington this evening, thats why I looked it up, very entertaining funny gentleman A1.

[Aronzon222]

First time i saw a video of Frank Worthington. I´m a fan of Mjällby AIF in Sweden where he played 10 games in 1980.

For the first time ( Now i´ve seen him ) I miss him

[Dip00]

"nice bike" - Tommy Vercetti

[sochisteve]

I'm a Utd fan but could watch that goal time and again. Genius

[ITFC25]

Don't forget that Town beat the Arse 1-0 in the FA Cup final that year too

[notlobian4ever]

Greatest goal ever. I'm 21 and have been trying to perfect that all my life and still can't pull it off. Instant control, perfect skill, and BANG. Haven't seen this Cantona one for Leeds but if its better than this, it must be bloody good.

[benmoose82]

is doesnt matter that ipswich won the game cus that was a cracker!

[joolstv]

im an ipswich fan,ipswich were a great team back then and to do that against us was just amazing..classic goal

[langelaily]

Ipswich actually won this game though!

[Darwinion]

I'm a Leeds fan too but Cantona's against Chelsea is nowhere near as good as this one. When i saw this goal as a kid I practiced like mad to try copy it in the street. Never did of course.

[decktapev3]

Even the ref is clapping

[gtastunt4]

frank ws a legand

[thefontstealer]

Always remember this goal from when i was younger. Nice to see it on here!!

[bluesishere]

Saw Cantona do better than that for Leeds against Chelsea..1991 I think.

[luket99]

ding dang doo!

[traffordwhite]

what an amazing goal...number 2 in the all time list behind Eddie Gray's 2 efforts against Burnley.

[hulmeybwfc]

what a goal will never see better skill and finish than that... eat your heart out ronaldo!

[bwfcjohn58]

what a goal i was lucky enough to be there in the embankment

[MiddleDemon]

This is a Leeds United Fan.

Great goal!

[bluesishere]

This is another Leeds United Fan..you remember Cantona's goal against Chelsea, beats this one.

[WELLBRAN]

Worthington was a very good player.

[theatomicpunk13]

Even the ref is applauding as he runs to the half way line. I practiced that goal with my mates for weeks.

[goldyn12345]

he didnt get enough england caps,flair players were never popular with english managers.le tissier,hoddle,marsh,ect.

[SimonAustralia]

Very simple training drill, but outstanding!to watch when someone owns it in a game.

Great Goal!

[madbob73]

Was that Terry Butcher he just made a mug of?

[langelaily]

Yes

[juliodiaz30]

great goal, always thought it was of the best goals ever...

[stude]

what a goal. what a moment. what a man.

[oldfashionedman]

you fucking dick.

[stude]

better than you could do.

[oldfashionedman]

Is it fuck. You fucking spoon.

[DenVriskwGame]

ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND!

[closetdf]

thanks i have been looking for this for quite a while

[rolffan]

I always remember Franks irreverent Shoot magazine Q and A session:Q Who would you most like to meet A:The wife's fancy man and/or the b****** who scratched my car.

Q Miscellaneous Likes .A Elvis,pies

Q Miscellaneous Dislikes A. Foreigners .

Genius

[60jord]

Brilliant. Even the ref was clapping!

[grimson]

Fantastic goal. Does anyone remember the ridiculous 3-dragback goal Clive Allen scored for QPR against West Ham around 1983? Cant find the video anywhere, it's another astounding goal.

[langelaily]

I wasn't born then so I don't remember it Lol - ty for the comment anyway

[SOFAJEDI]

you imagine any modern day player scoring a goal like that. god like status would be upon him. frank is a legend.

[gabrielthetoad]

you have to love the fact that even the ref is applauding

[Birthdation2]

haha lmao

[marcdb5]

In my opinion, this is the best goal I have ever seen. Just beats Cantona versus Sunderland and puts Beckham's half way effort into prespective. (I support Man U as well)!

[sun706]

Frank Worthington was a genius. I saw him score some cracking goals for Leicester over the years.

[notlobian4ever]

Brilliant indeed! Greatest goal ever scored? Certainly by a Bolton player.
