Birmingham fan,Frank was great for us,just like he was for every other club he played for,-met him in Tampa Florida in 1981, when he was playing for the Rowdies,and had a picture with him and his daughter taken,-really nice guy and what a player,-he was on the end of his career around that time,and enjoying his time in the sunshine state,-RIP ,Frank,--KRO
Great player,Frankie is still my all-time HTFC hero. Some smashing players in the team ,Hoy outstanding "on his day" and Jimmy McGill would always tackle with pure venom. In Frankie's early days I'd watch him play for Town Reserves on the alternate Saturday's when first team were away...then later went to Hillsborough to watch him play for Southampton and towards the back-end if his career went,with my brother and 2 chums,to a match at Stockport (after I'd bought a programme and noticed his name was missing from the team-sheet the prog seller said he'd broken his cheek-bone the previous game)... WOW,that was a dreadful game vs Mick Buxton's Scunthorpe Utd . R.I.P. Frankie
That's amazing , I too was at that Stockport Vs Scunthorpe match . Went over with my mate and a couple more in his square steering wheeled Austin Allegro . I can still smell that clutch to this day.. Top player Frankie , used to see him many years later in jack Pearson's bookies in lindley , always had a smile on his face.
I still have my tickets from the Friday 27th August show 1993, which were signed by the various performers at the stage door. Very good show I thought.
I watched Frank Worthington at Filbert Street many a time. He remains in my mind the best forward player I have seen. Liverpool's loss was our gain. R I.P Frank 💙🏐💙
Wow - what a piece of history, and very personal to me. I moved to New Cross Street in 1960, so I will have walked past that black Jowett. And yes, I remember the doctors Dr George Taylor and Dr Cole and their surgery at the back of the house. The garden WAS amazing in those days. I lived one street up from Woodroyd Road, which was Murgatroyd Street and remember to this day the noise of the weaving looms of the New Cross Street weaving shed. I remember when the shed and the offices along with the houses close by all being demolished. Was it Halidays? I don’t remember trams on Gaythorne Road but do remember the street light poles which held the electric cables for the trams, and they were there right through the 70’s. Thanks for sharing this video for all to see.
I do recall watching this as a child on a Friday eve with my parents. The two things I recall is a 'booth' the contests had to sit in and an assistant called Monica Rose who was a cheeky lady but such fun. Great TV back then.
This particular clip is from a one off, spin off from the main show.. "National Knowledge Contest" Started off as a competition in the TV Times, and winners went to their local TV franchise and competed against each other, then represented their franchise in the semi finals.. Winners of that went to Disneyworld in Florida... after another round, the finalists went to Montego Bay in Jamaica.. With the final pairs of "Captains and mates" digging on the beach for "buried treasure" My late father was one of the finalists, and won a luxury cruise. Back then, there was no way of recording live TV.. and I doubt it will ever be seen again.. in fact I have never seen any other clip than this one, and I reckon it will have been destroyed by now. I did go on the cruise with Dad... which is only fair, as I filled in the competition and put his name down... and got my mum to send it off.... all without telling my dad... he wasn't amused when he had to go to YTV... but in the end, he did great.
Nolans must be THE most under rared singers ever!. I always loved them as a youngster, mainly cos i fancied Bernie and Maureen ☺️. But now listening to them i hearing the voices!! ...mind blown
SHINE west bowling (Charity) are looking to raise fund for more winter support for the community. Could we use a short bit of this video footage when asking for donations?
Thanks for sharing this. I'm finding more out about my family and the area they use to live in. I don't know anything about them and have no photos of my great grandad and his father
