Vivian "Viv" Woodward was a Welsh professional football inside forward who played in the Football League for Fulham, Aldershot, Millwall and Brentford. He represented Wales in a wartime international match in 1941.
An inside forward, Woodward played for hometown club Troed-y-rhiw as a youth and moved to Southern League side Folkestone in 1935, before departing the following year.
Woodard earned a move to the Football League with Division Two side Fulham during the 1935–36 season in a £300 deal. It wasn't until the 1937–38 season that he established himself in the team, making 33 league appearances and scoring 15 goals. By the time competitive football was suspended due to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, Woodward had made 85 league appearances and scored 25 goals. He resumed his professional career with Fulham after the war, but managed just 10 league appearances during the 1946–47 season before departing the club in February 1947. Woodward made 95 appearances and scored 26 goals during 11 years at Craven Cottage.
