Anthony Stewart Woodcock (born 6 December 1955) is an English retired international footballer who played professionally in both England and Germany as a striker for Nottingham Forest, FC Köln and Arsenal.
He started his career at Nottingham Forest, signing a contract in January 1974.
After loan spells at Lincoln City and Doncaster Rovers, Woodcock broke into the Forest first team in 1976–77, helping the team to promotion to the First Division.
Woodcock would later credit the Lincoln move and the leadership of Graham Taylor as being instrumental to his development.
Under Brian Clough, Forest went on to win the First Division title and Football League Cup in 1978 with Woodcock winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award that year as well, and the European Cup in 1979.
He made his début for England in 1978 against Northern Ireland.
Woodcock won the European Cup (now known as the UEFA Champions League) in 1979 with Nottingham Forest.
Born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, Woodcock trained with Alan and Steve Buckley as a child, coached by their father, and played for Priory Celtic.

He returned home after the 1982 World Cup, signing for Terry Neill's Arsenal for £500,000.

He helped Arsenal reach the semi-finals of both domestic cups in his first season, and remained in favour with new manager Don Howe, who was appointed in December 1983 following the dismissal of Terry Neill after a dismal first half of the season.
He also contributed to a strong start to the 1984–85 season for the Gunners, which saw them top the league in the autumn of 1984.
