The Enforcers — Limited Edition NFT Collection Celebrating the Hard Men of Football. Part 2
Player 2 — Willie Woodburn
WILLIE WOODBURN — THE IRON CURTAIN
Woodburn joined Rangers in 1937 and shortly after the war quickly established himself as the anchor man in the side’s tight-knit defensive formation, known as the ‘Iron Curtain’. A talented footballer whose elegant and precise style juxtaposed his powerful tackling earned him the nickname ‘Big Ben’. Woodburn enjoyed a successful career at Rangers winning the league four times and taking home four Scottish Cup medals. However it was during the latter part of his career that a darker side of his character began to surface which would ultimately lead him to receive a life ban from the game. In 1953 he punched Clyde striker Billy McPhail, for which he incurred a 21-day ban and later the same year he received a six week ban for retaliating after being punched in a match against Stirling Albion. A year later the teams met once again and while playing with a knee injury, Woodburn took exception to a bad foul and subsequently headbutted the offender. After a disciplinary hearing the SFA decided enough was enough and he was suspended indefinitely. Three years later the SFA lifted the ban, but it was too late… Woodburn was 38 and his playing career was over. Woodburn went on to become a successful football journalist. 24 Scotland caps.
