Stranraer star Paul Woods admits he has been blown away by his fellow footballers rallying round to raise funds for a knee operation, following a horror injury earlier this month.
The 36-year-old winger, who hails from East Kilbride, damaged his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) when he collided with a team-mate during Stranraer’s win over Forfar on October 29 and requires surgery on his left knee to ensure his future mobility.
The devastating injury – which saw Woods stretchered off and requiring oxygen – has left the electrical engineer and father-of-two unable to do his regular day job, but he has been put on light duties working from home, where he is also caring for fourth-month-old son Noah and elder son Flynn, 4.
