Woody and Nord by Andy Woodman
Gareth Southgate and Andy Woodman have been best friends since they were apprentices at Crystal Palace together. But while Southgate has gone on to play for a succession of Premiership Clubs, Woodman, after being released on the day Palace were promoted, has been shuffled around the lower divisions. This is the story of a friendship that has endured two wildly divergent careers and a gripping insight into the national game, from the staggering money and prestige of the Premier League to the precarious living and hard knocks of the Nationwide League.
