" WHO REMEMBERS ? "

George Wood.


He's got no hair

He is 60 this year and was pushed out by Dave Jones when he was a goal keeping coach at the City.

He will be down the City on Saturday with his Wife.

Be brilliant if the Ninian and the Canton stand sang his name.

I remember us losing by 6 goals away to Port Vale and we cheered and sang his name as he left the field, he loved the City fans.

I remember, didnt we keep him for so long because his son was supposed to be good or something?
Then he left and his son signed for a prem club? or did i make that up

Who is our goalkeeping coach now?

Luke,
George was our goalie for a few yrs, then went on to management, then came back, but there was an argument over his son, thats very true.

Hollman isnt it ??

I remember him

I also remember you having a photo with him. It was a pre season game at Berwick Rangers 02/03 season. I think the photo is in one of your books

Got no hair but we don't care Georgie georgie wood

I remember being behing the goal at Exeter & he talked to us throughout the half

Top guy

Who remembers Dilwyn John? When I first went down the City he was our goalie...one for the really old b******s .

I remember georgie wood, always talking throughout the games loved us singing to him. dont remember Dilwyn John before my time early- mid sixties i think. Both had stints with merthyr ive been told.

George Wood IS A fantastic Character. One of only a few decent keepers We ever had, I Put a cracking header past Him, He gave Gibbo (Roger) a right ear bashing, Woody let Me know in no uncertain terms that if I so much as thought about going anywhere near His area again He could possibly get sent off, His face was a fek'''n picture when I put the ball right in the corner with a 25yarder, He gave Gibbo SO much GBH it was funny as fook, at 2-2 We were given a penalty virtually last kick of the game Fair play Woodie saved the pen but the ball came back in the D for yours truly I pelted the ball just hoping for the best tbh, It would have ended up by the corner flag until Gibbo decided to knee it in off the post, George steam coming out of each ear, I thought what the fook was he like in Pro football if He got like that in a charity game, Then I found out that someone had Changed Woodies pledge of Tenner a conceded goal to a hundred and the organisers were so pleased He didnt have the heart to tell Them the sheet had been tampered with, But Fare play to Him He still got a round in which was even more impressive because most of the jocks I know always seem to have a drink in Their hand but always have problems with bar navigation!!!!!

went to school with dilwyn son he had nets out his back garden in penarth

He is 60 this year and was pushed out by Dave Jones when he was a goal keeping coach at the City.

IIRC, it was more down to Hammam than Jones, Wood was berated as his son went to Man City on a pretty good deal we couldn't match. Version from someone close to Wood was Hammam went ballistic, claiming George was disloyal for wanting the best for his son. Was talk of an unfair dismissal case, not sure what happened to that.

Ah that's a name from the past.

Yeah. He's got no hair, but we don't care, Georgie Georgie Wood,

Bring back fond memories when I use to take my step father down the City before he passed away. Will be good to see him down the City on Saturday.

Very true - The nasty side of sam came out in this instance, georges son was offered a 6 year deal at man city the city offered him a 1 year deal - no brainer for the kid, so george was pushed.

Job was given to margs who didnt have his gk badges - margs has since gone

George is a top man !

he's got no hair but we dont care
i'll sing it in family stand if other stands sing it

Nerd,

I can not give you the whole email of Georges wife, but he is a quote from her in the email.



" George loved Cardiff City unfortunately his passion for the Club was not the same under DJ, it's
back now and we hope they will go up this season under Macky." " Dave Jones wanted him out, they have a bit of history and basically Dave Jones hated him. "

Couldn't be ,ore wrong fella, I'm sure the truth will come out but there was bad blood between George and DJ, and w eall know what happens to people who ain't DJ arse lickers and that is the truth.
Sam was a mate of George's and had a lot of time for him, if you get to meet George ask him.

Gwyn,

You've seen the whole email.

Georges wife states.

Jones was a disaster for us, in more ways than one.

It's particularly telling that he now basically unemployable. He'll probably turn up at Rotherham or Shrewsbury or somewhere.

I remember George Wood. Back in the late 80s, promotion year I think, we had some goalkeeping problems. Played about four during the season? Remember Alan Judge, who was pretty good, on loan from Oxford, I think. But George steadied the ship.

He's got no hair, but we don't care, Georgie, Georgie Wood ....

God we must be old! Last played for City in 1967 I think.

Unlike Jones to hate someone and hold a grudge....

Never forget that Wood lost his place in the team in 1990 ish. He was loaned to Blackpool and was eligible to play against us at Ninian Park. George got a great reception from the crowd and was man of match-think we drew 2all but his heroics cost us a few points.

Made his debut in my first City game I believe, Cambridge United at home 87/88 season.

4-0 win!

Ron healey and Billy irwin.another good battle for the no 1 spot in thier day'

Remember him having a scrap in Taffs Well Rugby club when a took another player who hid under the table when all the action was taking place, he used to live next door to a mate of mine in Efail Isaf who often saw him hanging out of the window in the early hours bird watching

I had a few pints with George in the Hollybush pub in Church Village after the famous FA cup win against Leeds, we had a right celebration, he was part of Alan Cork back room team then.
