....sad to hear Chester Barnes has died, aged 74. Former no1 table tennis player, he spent many years as Assistant to brilliant racehorse trainer, Martin Pipe. Chester Barnes was a real character.

Sad to hear I remember watching him in black and white .

My Dad would always yell out 'LORIMER!' and laugh his head off. RIP

If David Coleman was commentating on a Leeds game and Lorimer scored first it would be an excitable shout of "Lorimer" followed by Colemans signature "one nil".

Number one just before my time,Desmond Douglas then took over, he was allegedly quite a "character"Chester,RIP.

Oh wanky wanky, what a player he was. Imagine Messi scoring that goal, it would be talked about forever

RIP Franky

....that‘s sad news about Frank Worthington. So many talented players of those times who never really got recognition at international level (Hudson, Currie. Bowles et al). I recall him being on the verge of signing for the Reds at one stage & there were lots of rumours why that deal fell through.

He was a talent & a character.

Frank Worthington RIP

....remember watching that goal on ITV Football on the Sunday.

If you look carefully at that clip, the referee is actually applauding as he runs back to the centre circle.

Magic.

That was one of those goals where you just HAD to applaud, impartial or not.
Probably the only time I can ever remember applauding the TV lol
RIP Frank

Exactly right. I would have loved him, and any of the others you mention, at Goodison. Though maybe not all together!

Old Bill was known for his puritanical views.

Frank Worthington RIP

Very sad. One of my favourite ever goals that.

He was a character Frank. Remember watching him a few years ago on a ex footballrs celebrity version of Come Dine with me, with Neil Ruddock, John Fashanu and (I think) Carlton Palmer. He was making a starter of Avocado and something, and the recipe called for a splash of Balsamic Vinegar, which he didn't have. So he smothered it with Marstons malt vinegar instead lol

Post dinner entertainment was him proudly handing around portfolios of his wife who was an ex page 3 model.
