Alan Woodman
Edit ProfileCareer
Woodman was a defender from Bannockburn who played mostly as a centre half-back and in the back pocket. In 1978 he appeared in 21 games, the most he would play in a single season. Alan also played locally with Grovedale, Street Albans, Barwon and Winchelsea.
However Alan is held in high regard with the Bannockburn Tigers named as their Captain in the Team of the Century (Alan guided the Tigers to their first flag in over 50 years in 1990).
Alan promised the club that he would return someday after he was picked up by the Cats (VFL/American Federation of Labor-Congress). Alan was one of Geelong"s toughest football players who was hard on his players and himself.
He once played out a game with a broken jaw whilst at Grovedale and had his jaw wired up at hospital after playing out the remainder of the match. He died aged 58 on 8 May 2014.
