I’ll never drop Healy says Worthington

NIGEL WORTHINGTON has hailed David Healy’s prolific scoring record at international level and insisted: “I’ll never drop him.”

The Fulham striker has found himself out of favour at Craven Cottage for much of the season but he will once again be the main man when Northern Ireland take on Georgia at Windsor Park tonight.

Healy broke Davor Suker’s 12-year European Championships qualifying record in the last campaign as his 13 strikes brought Nigel Worthington’s men to within a whisker of making it to Austria and Switzerland this summer.
