The iconic trio of manager Bill Shankly, assistant manager Bob Paisley, and club secretary Peter Robinson stand by, observing the momentous occasion. However, fate had other plans for Worthington's career at Liverpool. Sadly, the deal collapsed after he failed a medical examination due to high blood pressure. Undeterred by this setback, Shankly advised him to take a break and return for a second medical assessment. Seeking solace in Majorca during his hiatus, Worthington underwent another medical evaluation but unfortunately failed once again. Despite these disappointments, Worthington's journey did not end here. Eventually finding his way to Leicester City Football Club where he would make an impact on the pitch with his remarkable skills and talent.
