Andrew John "Andy" Woodman (born 11 August 1971) is an English football coach and former player who was goalkeeping coach at Crystal Palace F.C. until January 2017. As a player, his highest achievement was playing for Northampton Town when they won the Division Three play-offs in 1997.
Woodman played for a number of clubs in his career, starting out at Crystal Palace in the 1989–90 season. He stayed with them for several years, and whilst he was their youth team goalkeeper he also played regularly on loan for Bognor Regis Town. In 1994 he moved to Exeter City. His spell at Exeter was cut short following two red cards in quick succession, firstly against Leyton Orient for violent conduct, and secondly against Colchester United in the FA Cup, for deliberate handball outside the area, when, after making a mistake with a back pass, he decided to dive on the ball with both hands. Exeter fans never forgave him for this, and when he later played in goal for Northampton in a home game with Exeter he was forced to endure repeated chants of "We remember Colchester" from the away fans behind his goal.
Following his red cards he moved to Northampton Town which lasted until 1998–99. Woodman is regarded as something of a cult figure at Sixfields after his time there, and was granted a testimonial by the club in summer 2007. He was also on loan to Brentford during this time, and moved there on a free transfer during 1998–99. While at Brentford he was loaned to several clubs; Peterborough United (1999–2000), Southend United (2000–01) and Colchester United (2000–01).
