He’s just been appointed manager of Bromley

 


Trivial fact - Palace used to win 5-1 at least once a season, maybe next season?

Give these a watch, he seems like a right laugh

He was a Goalie for us, but was overshadowed by others. Seem to remember him being a coach for us but could be wrong. Best of luck to him.

This is really worth a watch. Great insight into his Palace days, great stories and a real character. His son is the Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman on loan at Swansea. The "undr the Cosh" Podcasts are a very good watch/listen. Plenty of Palace related ones.

Good luck to Andy and Bromley

Search up the podcast ‘under the Cosh’ he was on a few weeks ago and had lots of stories about his time at palace. Good friends with Southgate as they came through here together. A funny guy.

He was coach when Pardew was our manager.
I think many years ago, Woodman used to run a soccer school in Warlingham.

He was with us 5 years or so and never made an appearance. In his own words he was Cr*p. In training which ever side had him got a two goal head start

He did make a great number of appearances for Northampton as well as Oxford Utd.

Andy has a son called Freddie, who is goalkeeper for Swansea, while on loan from Newcastle.

Whose Godfather is Gareth Southgate.

Freddie Woodman has a good penalty saving record.

Makes me feel old, I remember him as a youngster around the time of Southgate, Osborn and Jolly Rodger. He didn’t stand a chance first team wise, with Nigel Martyn and Perry Suckling in front of him.

Good luck to him at Bromley, but I can’t believe they’ve sacked the popular Neil Smith to be honest only to replace him with Woodman

Southgate and him are very good (unlikely )friends and wrote a book together called Woody and Nord

my god, in my head he was the youthful, tall, lean GK with a mop of blonde hair. I remember him being around a few soccer schools when I was younger and it was pretty inspiring to have a first team squad player about. Obviously I was oblivious to his lack of ability. Remember when Martyn got a red for chopping someone down outside of the box? Not sure if that would have been Woodman or Suckling coming on. Just sparked a memory.

It was an evening game against Wimbledon.Martyn was red-carded and Salako went in goal.

He'd make a good double act with Bob 'The Cat' Bevan.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Very entertaining indeed, thank you for sharing.

 

pstrutt Flag Busselton, WA 31 Mar 21 1.07pm

He and Gareth Southgate started at Palace together and became good friend. They wrote a book together called Woody and the Nord, which was autobiographical. A good read and good insight.

I don't remember him for Palace, but he spent a number of years at Northampton.

 


So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.
