After a meteoric rise to the top after forcing his way into the Leeds' first team, Johnny Woodgate's amazing first season was capped by a call up from Kevin Keegan to the full England squad at the tender age of 19 years old and the reward of a lucrative four year contract with United. Very tall and great strength in the air. He doesn't shy away from a physical challenge as the game against the dons showed. Also scores important goals. He has formed a great defensive partnership with Radebe. A great all round player. Made his international debut v Bulgaria.
