Coventry City Football Club - Alf Wood portrait.
Alf Wood: 1935-1959, 246 appearance.
FEW players can say they made their final appearance for a club some 20 years after their debut, but such is the boast of goalkeeper Alf Wood. He appeared in Citys Division 2 side in 1937-38 and in the promotion winning side of 1958-59, at the age of 43 becoming the third oldest player to play in League football since the war and the oldest City player ever. He signed for City in 1935, after playing for Nuneaton Town and Sutton Town. As reserve to Bill Morgan he made only two appearances prior to World War II and during the war he was a guest for Northampton Town.
Towards the end of the war he contracted spinal meningitis and it was feared he would never play again.
He recovered, however, and re-signed for City in 1945 and went on to make 260 consecutive appearances (218 of them in the Football League) over the next six seasons.
