Team Players>> Paul Wood

 

(#16) Midfielder (2002-2003)

 

By the 2002-03 season, Paul "Woody" Wood was in the Harchester United youth team. For the Boxing Day fixture against Man Utd, several of Harchester's first team are struck down with food poisoning, and Patrick Doyle assigns Andy Ansah to find replacements. From the reserves came Carlo Chino and Sam Harris, and showing great potential in the youth team were Woody and his team mate, Clyde Connelly.

 

The boys get regular starts or substitutions to the Dragon's Lair bench following this, and Woody is in a young friendship group with Clyde, Ryan Naysmith and Bobby Thompson. Paul is in the team as Harchester sail through the FA Cup rounds, reaching the final which is forfeited when the FA learn of Doyle's bet to see Harchester relegated. After the final game of the season sees Clyde's goal save the club's Premiership place, Woody is released by the club.
