Skelmersdale

Saturday will not be the first time Woods, who was brought up in Skelmersdale, west Lancashire, has stepped foot on Liverpool's pitch.

"I started barbering, working as a Saturday lad in Skelmersdale," says Woods.

The teenager died at the scene on Digmoor Road, Skelmersdale, after what was described in court as a "grotesque level of violence".

His worst fears were realised in June 2023 when a 15-year-old friend was fatally stabbed in Skelmersdale.

The vehicle was seized during a raid at an address in Marchbank Road, Skelmersdale, on 15 September 2021, after it was recorded making more than 40 trips across the UK.
