Frederick J. Worrall (8 September 1910 – 13 April 1979) was an English
1939 FA Cup Final, he took his small horseshoe, put a sprig of white heather in each sock, tied a small white elephant to one of his garters and put a lucky sixpence in his boots, as well as putting on Pompey manager Jack Tinn's lucky spats. He set up the second goal in Portsmouth's 4–1 win, and left the club at the end of the Second World War.[3] He had continued to play for Portsmouth during the war, but also made seven appearances for Manchester United during the 1945–46 War League season, scoring twice.[4]
