Woodward has the distinction of scoring Tottenham Hotspur's first Football League goal.
Chelsea were prepared to play Woodward in the 1915 FA Cup Final (by then he was Lieutenant Woodward of the 17th Middlesex (1st Football Battalion)). Woodward declined to take the place of the in form Bobby Thompson.
A gentleman amateur (an architect and farmer) Woodward was also on the board of directors for Tottenham and Chelsea during his time with the clubs, something we'll probably never see in the Premier League.

In 1919 he played in 2 unofficial Victory internationals for Scotland (scoring 4 goals) and joined Dunfermline Athletic, who were playing in the dissident Central League.

The period 1921–1923 saw him make 77 league appearances for Boro, scoring 51 goals. In 1923 he moved to Chelsea (at the end of the 1923 season he was top scorer for both Chelsea and Middlesbrough).
Wilson spent 8 seasons at Chelsea, scoring upwards of 50 goals in about 250 appearances. He then moved
to Queens Park Rangers and later to SC Nimois in France.
Wilson's international career was also impressive.
Capped 13 times from 1920–1923 he scored in 10 of these matches, a total of 13 goals.
The most remarkable spell of Wilson's career came in the summer of 1921.
He was invited to tour North America
with Third Lanark ( the tour featured players from 8 Scottish Clubs and they were billed as
Scotland or Scottish FA on the Canadian leg of the tour).
