Frank Worthington in action for Saints
Former Saints and England striker Frank Worthington has Alzheimer's disease, his daughter has announced.
The 67-year-old, who made eight appearances for his country in 1974, scoring two goals, is well remembered for scoring a wonderful individual goal while playing for Bolton in a Division One match against Ipswich in 1979.
He played 42 times for Saints, scoring four times, in 1983-84.
On her Facebook page, Kim-Malou Worthington wrote: "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."
