From a Spanish Sports paper... "Jonathan Woodgate hasn't yet been able to make his Real Madrid debut, but is already on the verge of being immersed in a scandal of huge proportions which threatens to end his career and taint the name of Real Madrid in the process. According to sources close to Newcastle, his former club, the defender is being investigated by English police for the possession and consumption of intolerable quantities of cocaine. It appears that the police has corrobating evidence. This revelation could, if true, put serious pressure, not only on the player himself, but also on his president, Florentino Perez. If all these allegations finally come to light, they would explain the unexpected, shock transfer which took English football by surprise, giventhat Newcastle got rid of a key player just before the start of the season, without having lined up a replacement. Woodgate's transfer was a complete surprise, taking place seemingly overnight, whilst all eyes were on Coloccini or Cannavaro, the two players with which the Madrid outfit were negotiating. The magpies' chairman, Freddy Shepard (sic), presumably aware of the situation and that Woodgate's detention was a question of time, came to the conclusion that he should simply get rid of the problem, whilst at the same time taking advantage of Perez's desperation to satisfy the wishes of his coach, bring in some money, and sell the player to Real. Madrid's season promises to be hot." No doubt we get all the Promise Boro massive saying "I have seen Woody in the Shack/Tree's.....
It's more than likely not true as I am sure The News Of The World would of had this story printed by now
I noticed that too.... could only have been Woodagte or Rooney. If it was Woodgate then it suddenly looks like very canny deal pulled off by Freddie Shepherd
More stuff flying aroun.... "it was going to be leaked a couple of weeks ago by the Mirror. They have pictures of woody. Woody's advisors found out and bought him some time. And the lad said literally BOUGHT HIM THE TIME. It will be coming out."
If it was heroin the fair enough cos he looks like a smack rat.. Wonder if there's any rumours in this or the papers are just after a quick buck ?!?! Regardless - he's still the BEST defender i have seen grace the black and white shirt of NUFC !
can't believe no-one mention liam o'brians name!<<<total legend! steve watson is my fav ever player though, what a hero!
These stories are all to commonplce... teessider arrives on tyneside and swiftly falls into a downward drugs spiral...
