Nigel Worthington was yet another one of the ex-Owls that Wilko
brought to Elland Road during his tenure. He won the League Cup with
Wednesday in 1991 and appeared in the FA Cup Final defeat by Arsenal
the following year. He was approaching 33 when he signed for Leeds and
provided useful cover for Tony Dorigo who was increasingly prone to
injuries. Never really popular with the fans - simply because he
wasn't Dorigo for most - he did a pretty decent job for Leeds. He went
on to be player/manager at Blackpool, where he picked up several of
the youngsters released by Leeds, and is currently in charge at
Norwich City.
Katie says: I think that Nigel Worthington is really fit for a 40
year old man!
Alex Huxley says: I was his son, Adam Worthingtons, best friend for
quite a while when he played at Sheffield wednesday and met his
Father, Nigel, quite alot.
johnny lord says: i was never quite sure if nige was still alive
when he played for LUFC he gave no hints of life whilst on the pitch
Cloverfieldcanary says: Nigel Worthington is proving his worth as a
manager - which will lead to Norwich City being back in the
Premiership - somewhere Leeds Utd will not be for much longer
Fedders says: Be quiet, Norwich will never be on the same landscape
as Leeds.
ste says: Cloverfieldcanary you are a dick - with a daft name, dont
slag off Leeds, Nigel is a better manager than a player - he didnt
deserve to wear our white - we may not be in the Premiership but we
are LEEDS
Still Ste says: Also my petal, Worthingtons strengths as a player
were his dependable but predictable ways, nothing fancy, creative or
adventurous - much like your wifes habits. Dorigo was more like your
mum - forward and outgoing - ATTRACTIVE!!! We'll see how long Norwich
last with the big boys Mr. Canary, peace out.
