 Many Terriers fans regarded Worthington as being the main lynchpin of the Town midfield.Other midfielders have attempted to fill that role such as Michael Collins, Andy Holdsworth, Adnan Ahmed, Mark Hudson and loan signing Ronnie Wallwork, but fans felt that the Town midfield Four was incomplete without Worthington in the middle.He was made captain in 2004 after previous captain Efe Sodje was stripped of the captaincy after being sent off in a LDV Vans Trophy match against Blackpool which Town lost 6–3 in extra time.
