Career

Bognor Regis Town

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]

Brentford

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]

Non-league football

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]

gollark: With the butterfly-weather-control example that's derived from, you can't actually track every butterfly and simulate the air movements resulting from this (yet, with current technology and algorithms), but you can just assume some amount of random noise (from that and other sources) which make predictions about the weather unreliable over large time intervals.
gollark: That seems nitpicky, the small stuff is still *mostly* irrelevant because you can lump it together or treat it as noise.
gollark: Why are you invoking the butterfly effect here?
gollark: That would fit with the general pattern of governments responding to bad things.
gollark: Apparently by texting numbers you can send payments, on mobile phones. What UTTER IDIOT thought that that was a good and secure idea?
