You have to admit Worthington was a good- not great player- and is still fondly remembered at Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds as a tough, take no prisoners defender.
Unfortunately it seems his footballing career will be remembered as his failure as a manager, rather than the decent player he was.
He joins the long list of good Irish players who were failures as managers, Roy Keane, Steve Staunton, Liam Brady etc etc.
Although Celtic have a better side than Rangers currently, I predict that within a few seasons Neil Lennon will have joined the list of Irish failures. I don't think Lennon can handle the pressure- he buckled towards the end of last season when Celtic lost the league to a truly atrocious Rangers side.
I suppose we can take heart in producing a few good managers Billy Bingham and Martin O'Neill the two greatest managers the Island of Ireland has ever produced!!!!
Decent Players Don't Always Make Managers!!

Is it possible "SoManyUglyJealouspeople" for you to participate in a Football debate without resorting to childish insulsts about peoples appearences or backgrounds???
What makes this all the more bizzare is the fact that you don't actually know (a) What other posters look like and (b) their socio-economic backgrounds!!!
It seems to me that as soon as your flawed Football related arguments are challenged you due to your obvious lack of real knowledge of the game resort to these type of infantile comments
