Life and career

Woods was born in 1950 in Sale, which was then in Cheshire.[1] He joined Manchester United from school, and turned professional in 1967, but had not played for the first team when, in April 1970, he joined Second Division club Luton Town as part of a £35,000 deal that also took Don Givens, Ken Goodeve and Jimmy Ryan to the club.[2] He spent 18 months at Luton without making a first-team appearance, and joined Southend United in February 1972 for a £3000 fee. He played 27 matches before moving on to Doncaster Rovers in 1973, where he scored twice in 55 matches in a two-year spell.[3]
