Alan Woodward

[Foxy]

He was a real Blades legend and I cannot understand why he hasn't got an avatar on this site.
When we have had discussions about who should be included I have always put Woodward forward - His absence makes the inclusion of the avatar of Alan Cork last season look ridiculous.

Mainly down to a lack of "spare" time what with moving into our first house

Woody has always been on the main site - http://www.s24su.com/, he'll be back on the forum in the near future too.

Just seen the post. Woody was my childhood hero and I still have his training shirt which he gave to me as a soveneir after a training session. Don't do facebook so can anyone fill me in. How ill is he.

I was priviledged to see him throughout his career and consider him to be in the top 4 of the United players that I have seen to bless our colours. I was also lucky enough to meet him and he was a modest man who was generous with his time to Local football events.

I saw him score many great goals, set goals up for others and also turn in a superb performance in goal. If anyone deserves the title of Legend, he does.

Alas, not the real reason. I know why, but wouldn't say on here....

Why post then? Just to tell us you know a secret?

Agree with others when saying he was one of the best to never pull on an England shirt (Len Badger is another one for me!).
Perfect gent as well, when as a kid I stopped him for an autograph or chat he always had time. Up there with TC as an idol of mine and always will be! Don't do Facearsingabout but keep it going for a true legend!

Why post your retort then?

He didn't go on the B tour and then left the club shortly afterwards because he was having an affair, his wife found out and his marriage ended. I thought that was common knowledge.

Last I heard AW was on his 4th wife.

I see people use the word "legend" on many occasions where it is completely inappropriate and its over use is somethng that pisses me off no end.

Alan Woodward is, was, and always will be a LEGEND.

Mainly down to a lack of "spare" time what with me practising crossbar challenge every free moment of every day
