Woodward, Alan Alan was truly one of the greats. He was Sheff. Utd's best player for many a season and I will never know why none of the big clubs came in for him, or if he would have moved anyway.

Woodward, Alan Hi alan I was born in nottingham in 1971, we then emigrated to canada a few years later, my dad's family, all Woodwards came from the Yorkshire area and Sheffield, my dad who passed away years ago, always said that you were related. But I am still not sure? Your name appeared in a school football book In the late 70's in canada, my schoolmates said I was lying to believe that we have a relation , anyway, it would be good to hear from you, as I have always been known as woody, and I was told that's because of you and you nickname. Cheers. Woody


Woodward, Alan Best crosser of a ball I have ever seen


Woodward, Alan I don't think anyone has scored as many goals from the acute angles that Alan did time and time again.Great memories.


Woodward, Alan Grew up in the same village. He used to play for the men's team when he was still at school, mostly in goal. Then Barnsley Boys. Had a couple of problems I think because of his smoking but he got past that.
