Chantel Marie "Channy"[2] Woodhead (born 17 September 1974 in Leeds, England) is a former English international football player. She played as a left back for clubs including Doncaster Belles and Everton Ladies. Woodhead won a single cap for the senior England team.
Woodhead played for Doncaster Belles while working in the mail order department of Leeds United. Following a spell at Everton, she signed for hometown club Leeds United Ladies in summer 2002.[3]
On 26 January 1995, Woodhead played the first half of England's 1 - 1 friendly draw against Italy in Florence. She was substituted off for Hope Powell at half - time.[4] On the day of the match Woodhead had been admonished by the England management for wearing non - regulation trousers.[5]
Woodhead was overlooked for the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup squad by manager Ted Copeland. It was suggested to Woodhead that the dress code breach was reflective of her attitude: "So it looks like I've been dropped for wearing the wrong trousers. And what can you say to that? But it doesn't make you feel like going again, does it?"[6]
She was allotted 105 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.[7] [8]
