He certainly was. I remember thinking that he was pretty useful but those dead ball free kicks! He doesn’t look too old now.Couldn’t he put in a shift?

Dyche and Loughlan were nothing really compared to Woan or Stone.

Watched the Stone one too, didn't know he successively broke a leg 3 times.

He was a talented player. Could pick a pass as well. Saw him playing full-back for Forest once and his range of passing was exceptional.

Good video. Sounds like he would be up for a return to Forest if asked.

Have watched a few of these videos by ex Forest players and they all generally speak well of their time there. Some have some great funny stories about Clough when he was manager.

Why are we so awful at direct free kicks now then?

Woan was my favourite wide midfielder of the early and mid-90s. He was a terrific ball carrier; a great crosser and had a wonderful strike on him. Scored some fabulous goals. Terrific left peg!

Very good player and a natural bad cop to Dyche's good cop

Really enjoyed watching that.
We have a manager and assistant manager who thrive on loyalty.
We are very lucky.

He went to school just down the road from where I live now. Other notable former pupils include Graham Branch and Mike Dean.

That is a bit spooky. Dean and Woan always remind me of each other... maybe related :-)

According to Wikipedia they’re both 53 (in fact it’s Dean’s 53rd birthday today, six days younger than me) so I guess they may have been classmates. Maybe that’s why we generally do ok with Dean as a ref!
