Kim-Malou Worthington

There has been a few wandering about my dad's health recently and so I thought i should let you all know Frank Worthington has Alzhiemers. He was diagnosed several years ago and has been holding it off with POSITIVE thinking and football ⚽ . They say several footballers from my dads era seem to have suffered the same disease, possibly due to the constant heading of the heavy football back in the day. As time goes by though, there are moments when you see the effects of Alzhiemers and this is hard sometimes for all those involved with a loved one who has this disease. It's a funny thing that the one big lesson my dad always taught me was 'mind over matter'.... No matter how hard life gets, being positive will pull you through, Every adversity is a opportunity for change and growth... Thanks dad, that is the biggest gift you ever gave me! And now this silly Alzhiemers is taking you away from all that you taught me.... My heart goes out to all those effected by Alzhiemers, what a journey it is for all those effected!! ❤

He lives in the same town as me does Frank and he still spends most of his time chatting up women
An absolute legend that bloke. Sad to hear about this

To Kim-Malou. I think I only saw Frank play once, at The Hawthorns when he was at Huddersfield Town. A maverick and likeable guy, one of football's quirkier characters, and one of the good players of his era.

My absolute favourite player.
Best wishes to Frank and family.
He was a star to have around SYSTON
in his day.

An amazing player. Scored the greatest goal i've ever seen for Bolton.
Wishing him the best.
