Woody puts cup final dream on the line for Spurs

JONATHAN Woodgate is prepared to miss Tottenham’s Wembley showpiece this weekend to help them through to the next round of the UEFA Cup.

The 28-year-old’s career has been punctuated by a series of injury disappointments but he has bought into the thinking of head coach Juande Ramos, who is putting aside thoughts of the Carling Cup final until after their Slavia Prague tie tonight.

Despite holding a 2-1 lead from last week’s first leg, Ramos is placing the utmost importance on the UEFA Cup, a competition he has won in the last two seasons.
