Andrew Geoffrey "Andy" Woon (born 26 June 1952) is an English retired professional football forward who made 50 appearances in the Football League for Brentford.[1] He later played non-league football for Maidstone United, Gravesend & Northfleet and Hastings United before injuries ended his career.
Career
Bognor Regis Town
Woon began his career with hometown non-league club Bognor Regis Town, top scoring two seasons in a row to send the club to two successive promotions out of the Sussex League and into the Southern League Division One South.[1][2] He departed Nyewood Lane in February 1973.[1]
Brentford
Woon earned a move to the Football League with Division Three strugglers Brentford in February 1973, signing for a £1,000 fee.[1] He had a whirlwind start to life at Griffin Park, becoming the only Brentford player to score a hattrick on his debut and helping to beat Port Vale 5–0 on 10 February.[1] He was the club's second-leading scorer during the 1973–74 season, before falling out of favour with incoming manager John Docherty in 1975 and departing the club at the end of the 1974–75 season.[1]
Non-league football
After his departure from Brentford, Woon played on in non-league football with Southern League sides Maidstone United, Gravesend & Northfleet and Hastings United, with injuries ending his career at the latter club.[1]
