Born 21st October 1980 - Christopher Wood is an ex-footballer, Surfer, Gymnast, Jeet Kun Do master and former Knowsley Badminton Champion. He has many claims to fame, never losing a header in his whole footballing career, some people say he could fly!! When living in Australia he lost out to Mark Richards in the world championship surfing competition, Chris didn't take this well so decided to retire from the Surfing game and concentrate on competing in the summer Olympics of 1996 in Atlanta. Chris Wood represented Romania in the Pommel Horse under the name Marius Urzica, after a ropy start he ended up winning the Bronze medal.... This was just not good enough for Chris so once again he decided to retire from Gymnastics. After a serious basketball accident ( after slam-dunking during the 1999 NBA Finals the backboard smashed and caused injuries meaning he was no longer 6ft 6inch ). Chris decided to learn Jeet Kun Do ( some say he is Bruce Lee reincarnated ), he is often referred to as the Huyton Hammer, who has never lost a single fight.. As for badminton his record still sits at 6798 wins and only 1 defeat - this stain on his record has done serious harm to his mental health. Now working for a local company in Liverpool Chris doesn't like to brag about his past but it is on here for all to read. As a footballer imagine "Pele, Maradona, Baggio, Pirlo, Messi, Zidane, Ronaldo, all rolled in to one" well that would be as close you could get to Chris Wood.
