Woody and Nord Summary

Woody and Nord: A Football Friendship by Andy Woodman

Gareth Southgate and Andy Woodman have been best friends since they were apprentices at Crystal Palace together. But while Southgate has gone on to play for a succession of Premiership Clubs, Woodman, after being released on the day Palace were promoted, has been shuffled around the lower divisions. This is the story of a friendship that has endured two wildly divergent careers and a gripping insight into the national game, from the staggering money and prestige of the Premier League to the precarious living and hard knocks of the Nationwide League.

Woody and Nord Reviews

A book so refreshing you are often tempted to break into applause * (Sunday Telegraph) *
Every now and again a football biography comes along that sidesteps the usual garbage with a neat shimmy ... Wonderfully refreshing - it allows you a peek of that rare beast, a footballer's personality (in fact two of them) not just the cliched shell that encases it. * 4 stars. (Four Four Two) *
A refreshing slice of biographical honesty and integrity * (Times) *
