Frank Worthington’s widow has revealed she is being forced to sell the family home due to an uncertain financial future which she describes as “terribly bleak”.
One of English football’s great mavericks, Worthington died peacefully in hospital on March 22 at the age of 72 following a long illness and the funeral of the former Huddersfield and Leicester forward will take place in Halifax on Friday.
During a lengthy playing career, the striker represented more than 20 clubs but the latter years of his life saw wife Carol became his full-time carer with benefits their only source of income.
