Born in [East Ham](/source/East_Ham), [Essex](/source/Essex) (now part of [London](/source/London)), Woodgate was at home on either wing.

He went on to make 275 appearances for the east London club, scoring 52 goals.[2] He scored a hat-trick in seven minutes against [Plymouth Argyle](/source/Plymouth_Argyle_F.C.) in 1946.[1]
