First chapter done! It’s all about Dave’s early life growing up in Shelf near Halifax. You’d never know from the title. #worthybook

Spent a very entertaining afternoon speaking to Dave this week about his time at @FCHTOnline and some of the characters he met there, including the manager who signed him - Harry Hooper. You’ll be able to read all about it in the Worthy book, coming 2025

Spent another great morning in Dave’s company this week, hearing stories from his youth. Includes his Dad’s sneaky way of distracting goalkeepers by getting the young Worthington brothers to have a kick about behind the opposition goal
A rare Dave goal here!
"The crowd roaring Grimsby on" Love the young kids by the picket fence. #GTFC
Back where it all began. Many a plastic football was lost over the goal Dave and his childhood mates carved into this wall in Shelf, near Halifax. 70 years later, the goalpost is still there!

Great to meet up with Dave this week. Throughout the process of writing his autobiography we’ll be charting the journey here on X. The hard works starts now @onthisGTFCday @codalmighty @DN35GTFC @MarinerMen
