Career
Woodman played for a number of clubs in his career, starting out at Crystal Palace in the 1989-1990 season. He stayed with them for several years, and whilst he was their youth team goalkeeper he also played regularly on loan for Bognor Regis Town. In 1994 he moved to Exeter City.
Exeter fans never forgave him for this, and when he later played in goal for Northampton in a home game with Exeter he was forced to endure repeated chants of "We remember Colchester" from the away fans behind his goal.
Following his red cards he moved to Northampton Town which lasted until 1998-1999. Woodman is regarded as something of a cult figure at Sixfields after his time there, and was granted a testimonial by the club in summer 2007.
He was also on loan to during this time, and moved there on a free transfer during 1998-1999. While at he was loaned to several clubs.
Peterborough United (1999–2000), Southend United (2000-2001) and Colchester United (2000-2001).
He joined Colchester on a free transfer in the 2001-2002 season, and was loaned to Oxford United in that season. Woodman then moved into non-league football with Stevenage Borough in 2004-2005, as well as Redbridge, Thurrock and a trial at Torquay United. He joined Rushden & Diamonds in the 2005-2006 season, but injured his Achilles tendon early on in the season, which ruled him out for a number of months.
Coaching career In the spring of 2006 he was appointed assistant manager at Rushden and Diamonds.
When the club was relegated at the end of that season, he chose to join his old team-mate Alan Pardew"s staff at West Ham United. When Pardew moved to Charlton Athletic, Woodman joined him in the summer of 2007 as goalkeeping coach.
He joined Newcastle United on 13 December 2010 as Goalkeeping Coach, again joining Alan Pardew. On the 31 July 2015 Andy Woodman joined Crystal Palace as Goalkeeping Coach, yet again joining Pardew at Crystal Palace.
Woody and Nord The book is called Woody & Nord: A Football Friendship, and describes an enduring friendship forged in the Palace youth team that has survived Southgate and Woodman"s wildly differing fortunes in the professional game.
