Interview with Colin Woodthorpe

[The Scarf My Father Wore]

Stockport fan here!

I had an hour with Colin Woodthorpe in Chester recently, looking back at his career for my website. County signed Colin in the summer of 1997 ahead of our first season in Division One.

The article is obviously from a County angle, but there’s some Aberdeen content included as well.

Plaudits for providing the article about Colin Woodthorpe, in particular about the reference to Aberdeen, but shame about the about the disgusting name of the website.?

A willie miller signing £300,000 spent on him,  miller fairly wasted a shit load on him.

Hetherston, £200,000.

MacKinnon £300,000

 

[Betty Swallicks]

He was tripe.

Wasn't Woodthorpe really shit?

I don't have greatest memory on him but don't recall him being great. Part of Stenhousemuir shambles?

He was indeed part of that disastrous day at Ochilview in 1995.

Scored the winner at Rugby Park. Only reason I remember that is we went so bloody long without a win there that it was often referenced.

£400k is what's coming to mind as the fee we paid for him. 

But spot on he was pretty useless and fairly often unavailable through injury IIRC

[Dandyesque]

He was always on a hiding to nothing trying to replace David Robertson

[Bournemouth Gee]

Remember one game he came on in the 86th minute. Didn't touch the ball. Terrific.

He was signed 3 or 4 years after that Judas rat fucked off to the scum ?

[Bournemouth Gee]

Tzvetanov was later, think he maybe replaced Woodthorpe. Aitken signed him

This is true. However it is also true that we were still trying to adequately replace him. David Winnie doesn't count.

You might argue we still are...

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

I had forgotten all about him. Not one that lasted long in this Aberdeen fans memory.

He did indeed min. Both were very ordinary. Both looked good on paper (One being part of a decent Norwich side that finished third in the inaugural EPL, whilst the other being second choice left-back in a WC semi final) but ultimately were average at best.
