Quote ="davids"We all know what a legend John Woods was at Leigh, and why.
But what were the circumstances that led to him playing for Warrington in 1987-88?
And (before my time), how did that side only end 6th and not win one of the many trophies on offer back in those days?
The side looked strong on paper, with Brian Johnson at full-back, Mark Forster on the wing (I believe he beat Les Quirk of Saints in the fastest player in the league challenge around that time), Des Drummond, John Woods, Les Boyd, Kevin Tamati, Billy McGinty (to name a few...)
Plus a decent crop of youngsters who went on to have solid careers: David Lyon, Paul Cullen, Martin Crompton.'"
i remember hull fc twice bidding then world record bids for woods when bunting was in charge ,it seemed he was a 1 club man/player so i guess something changed ,or just didnt fancy east yorkshire
