Goodbye & best wishes to Wooz

[Chris]

Just seen on the website Dave Woozley has decided that he won't be able to do the travelling with us next season & is leaving the club .

Pretty gutted by that as IMO Wooz has been one of the best players to pull on a Slough shirt since we stopped playing at Wexham Park. An outstanding leader & will be very-much missed by everyone at the club.

 

Wish Wooz all the best.

All the best Wooz......a fantastic player who will no doubt make some of our all time 11 (at least those of us watching less than 15 years )

 

Very gutted and a major loss for us

[Christof]

To paraphrase a slogan from a lesser club...

 

Woozley - Captain, Leader, Legend

 

One of my all-time favourites, will never forget the celebrations at Rugby and Kettering, and it will be strange not hearing him barking instructions to the back line.

 

Thanks Dave, all the best for the future, you'll always be a Rebel!

[Stuntman Mark]

Not completely surprised to hear this. Wooz has been a terrific servant to the club and is a top, top bloke. He was immense in the push for the play offs last year and was probably our best player the previous two seasons. Wish him all the best.

[Hammer_rebel]

As far as I know the fire service are being made to do compulsory over time so I did think wooz may not be with us this season.... But hoped I would be wrong! He's been great sad to see him go

[Reading Rebel]

Gutted to hear it but understandable.

 

Thanks Wooz for everything you've done for the Rebels.

 

All the best for the future.

[Rebel Sue]

And from us older fans thanks Dave and really sorry to see you go. Best of luck

 

Sue and Aidan

[Mr Rebel]

Whoever signs him will be very lucky indeed

 

Terrific player all the best

[HorshamRebel]

Thanks for everything you've done for the club, Wooz. All the best with whatever you are doing in the future.

[Windsor Rebel]

Agree with all the above. Spoke to Wooz in the Herschel after the Kettering game and

he intimated that the travelling may be a bit too much what with his other committments.

Top bloke and a fantastic servant to the club. All the best Wooz.

[Irishadrian]

Very sad to see him go. One of the best players in the past 10 years and a great inspiration to those around him. I don't believe a player of his calibre would gain much (if any) satisfaction from step 5 football so we must wait and see where he turns up Thank you for some great entertainment Wooz!.

[Mark44]

I would agree with you Adrian around the step 5 point.

 

There are enough step 4 teams the wooz could walk into that are local, I must admit my first thought was Windsor when step 5 was mentioned

[Chris]

Bit surprised Bates has not tried to get him at Aylesbury.

[Rebel Kay]

Very sad to see Wooz leave us, but understand his reasons.

 

I would list him as one of our recent day legends and he will be missed.

 

All the best for the future wherever that takes you.

[SloughRebelBoy]

Disappointed, but not surprised.

 

That is the first downside to us getting promoted, losing a player of his quality / leadership.

 

Onwards and upwards for the Rebels, but good luck Wooz.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Gutted! A true hero! Great bloke! Thanks for all your hard work and leadership!

[rebelade]

Top player and top bloke, now need to find someone new to sponsor. Wish you all the best for the future.

[Martin]

Great way to sign off though. Shook my hand at the end of the play off game and said "At last." Job done and can completely understand his reasons. Wish him all the best and will certainly be difficult to replace in terms of leadership and experience. Despite not necessarily being blessed with pace he always stood out as some one who had time on the ball and that is down to the fact he is a classy player who reads the game so well.

Great player but even better leader. Someone at step 5 will get themselves one heck of a good player for that level.

His leadership skills and assured presence and composure in defence will be a big miss for us this season.Understandable; his reasons for leaving.

 

Best of luck,Wooz ! 

 

He seems a top man on and off the pitch.

 

Bakes and Unders,certainly are getting their fair share of problems before a league match has even been played,what with all these injuries and now with probably their most experienced player leaving.

 

So much for the smooth,settled makeover of the squad.They're certainly aren't getting it easy.

Still,better to have these upheavals now,than have these problems half way through the season.

 

Noticed we had an experienced 'old timer' centre half turn out for us last night,if it is the same Gary McDonald that played for Woking. Didn't get to the game last night,so am not sure.Can anyone verify?
