Was he missing and widely thought to be dead for one entire season before reappearing under contrived and barely explained circumstances? Cos that sounds more like Gaskell.
Bobby Ewing stepped out of the shower one morning and found that the last couple of seasons had in fact all just been a bad dream.
I have a vague memory of Woods kicking at goal from 70m+ goal in c86/87 - think he ended up missing, but height and distance were there.....
....Or has too many beers eroded my memory?!
Mind I did recall him having dark hair lol
I was there for that game. Woods played for Leigh, we were drawing 15 all, the hooter had gone and they got a penalty. He kicked it from the centre spot to win the game. What are the chances of that happening again... oh hang on
There was another game, at Odsal in the last season or so of 3 point tries, when we had it 'won', six points up on Leigh and only a minute left.
We conceded a try which Woods goaled, leaving us 1 point to the good and barely sufficient time left for us to to kick off. Of course, we kicked it out on the full, leaving Woods as much time as he needed to nail the penalty from halfway...
John Woods-What a player.Sorry,but Gaskell isn't in the same league imo.I still have a programme of the only game Woods and Hanley played in the same Northern team.just after we had signed Woods and just befor Hanley left for Wigan.One of my favourite players Woods.
