Thanks - just gone out and had a look at that. Madness when you ask the quality of player and its leads to stories like this. I thought the situation with Man Utd and Woodward was a beyond crazy but its seems like the stupid minority have always been there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a player before my time so generally just looking for stories feedback on a player who dedicated over 10 years to our special club. Fond memories? I’m sure he played in Jack Charlton’s team that got promoted from the old Div 3. Scored the winner in a 2-1 win at Millmoor. Raucous times. I couldn’t see a thing but another great day out none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
