Rod, according to my records, Woody’s 1st goal for us in the league was the day before, i.e. 31st October (in a loss at Leeds), although he had scored the previous May against Barnsley in the County Cup.
I watched his League debut on a Wednesday night at Liverpool. Although we lost 3-1 (Birchenall scored for us) it was obvious even then that we had unearthed a “jewel”.
I remember it as though it was yesterday.
Actually , that’s not quite true, because I can’t really remember anything about yesterday.
