Woody's Story

Available for over a year

For one young Brentford fan with Down's syndrome, the Championship fixture with Reading at Griffin Park will be one that he never forgets. Woody is a football-loving lad who's been forced to make a long journey from home to train and play with a different club - after a coach at one closer to him refused to have him in the squad because of his Down's. After sharing his story on Facebook, it was brought to the attention of the West London club - who acted quickly to give Woody an afternoon to remember, as Chief Executive Mark Devlin explains.
