Hard to disagree with either of these comments - off the pitch there are lots
of stories (ripping up ten pound notes etc) showing that he was a dickhead and
always likely to implodeHowever on the pitch I still argue that he was (if ony
for a brief period) and would have remained but for injury much better than
FerdinandI was at his first (only?) England game away at Bulgaria where he made
a brilliant goal saving tackle.
As Tim says some defenders can defend others can play football - Woody could do
both.
Unfortunately he will go down, as many before him and no doubt others yet to
come, as someone who ultimately wasted his talent
