Career
After playing for Pollok,[1] Woods signed for Rangers at the age of 15,[2] and made one appearance for them in the Scottish Football League during the 1954–1955 season.[1] That match was on 26 March 1955, and resulted in a 1–0 win for Rangers at home to Queen of the South.[3] After leaving Rangers, Woods next played for Hamilton Academical, scoring 19 goals in 49 League appearances for them.[4] Woods then moved to Canada to play for Winnipeg,[4] later moving to Vancouver.
In the Pacific Coast League,[5] Woods played five seasons for Vancouver St. Andrews FC and four seasons for North Shore United FC / Luckies.[2] While playing for St. Andrews in 1962, Woods received a two-year ban for refusing to play in an exhibition game for the Vancouver All-Stars.[2] After his playing career, he served as a manager for North Shore United.
In 1960, Woods played for Canada's national team on tour in the Soviet Union and United Kingdom.[6] He then won the Canada Soccer Championship The Challenge Trophy while on loan for the Westminster Royals FC. He scored two goals in the championship match on 22 October 1960, a 4:0 win over Toronto Golden Mile.[7]
