Andrew Geoffrey Woon (born 26 June 1952) is an English retired professional footballer who made 50 appearances in the Football League for Brentford as a forward. He later played non-League football for Maidstone United, Gravesend & Northfleet and Hastings United before injuries ended his career.
Woon began his career with hometown non-League club Bognor Regis Town and top-scored two seasons in a row to send the club to two successive promotions out of the Sussex League and into the Southern League First Division South. [1] [2] He departed Nyewood Lane in February 1973. [1]
Woon joined with Third Division strugglers Brentford on trial in October 1972 and impressed enough to sign a professional contract for a £1,000 fee in February 1973. [1] [3] He had a whirlwind start to life at Griffin Park, when he became the only Brentford player to score a hat-trick on his debut in a 5–0 win over Port Vale on 10 February. [4] He was the club's second-leading scorer during the 1973–74 season, [4] 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]
After his departure from Brentford, Woon played on in non-League football with Southern League clubs Maidstone United, Gravesend & Northfleet and Hastings United. [1] Injuries ended his career at the latter club. [1]
