Bing Cosby Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Meh Like others have said my overriding memories of Woods are mainly of his mistakes I'm afraid He certainly was a good shot stopper and his positioning was pretty sound. You'd watch him and think he was really solid and then he'd drop a bollok There was very little between him and Kevin Pressman for me, even when Woods was the established no.1. I also think his number of caps for England are a bit misleading... Post Shilton and pre Seaman (oh err!) He was England's number one, but never stood head and shoulders above the rest Wasn't his nickname "Baywatch" or am I just having a homoerotic delusion brought on by pre Seaman?

wexowl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Remember a home game against Forest when he was injured and didn't come out second half was replaced by Steve Nicol. We lost.But I can remember him slapping off the ground during melee and .I swear the ground shook . Big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglad75 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ask Celtic fans what they thought of him during his time at Rangers . They called him flapper . My mate was an apprentice and then 1st year pro during woods time with us and he said he stunk of ale most mornings. Not great in my eyes , used to palm shots straight out and not to the side , Pressman was better for me and how he kept Seaman and Nigel Martin out the England team will always be a mystery to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me as well-we were sat just behind him and couldn't believe it when it went in. Never really his biggest fan after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike1867 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Memories.....bad ones, very bad ones. My old man laughed when we signed him. Dad was a keeper in his youth. As I've mentioned before he wasn't a Wednesday fan but he loved Ron Springett. The day we signed Woods he just laughed and said God help you. I rolled my eyes thinking he was just having a wind up......... he wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan1966 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Wembley obviously but for me it will be when Deane's weak effort went through his legs at the sty to condemn us to a 2-0 loss when although I was in my early 20's I couldn't believe a team as good ours at the time could lose to a bunch of cloggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Rubbish, we didn't even need him as we had Pressman who was a much better keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls-swfc Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 My memories of Chris Woods, are that the OP started a different thread other than yet another Jordan Rhodes thread.. And by definition is now a distant memory of somebody other than Jordan Rhodes that I can remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swal-owl-s26 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I believe his best performance for us was against Preston in the fa cup. It was away on their plastic pitch, think we won 0 v 2 and he played a blinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Vastly overrated..............................had a very annoying habit of falling to his knees too early. There is a hilarious clip of him somewhere making a right horlicks of a cross in the intertoto cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
