Ian Woan is an English former footballer in the mid-1990s who is currently coach of the Under 18s at Portsmouth. Woan started his career in 1985 at Manchester City but never made a start for the then First Division club. After playing in the lower leagues for five years, his big break came, aged 22, when on 14 March 1990 he joined Nottingham Forest for a fee of 80,000 from Runcorn. Woan was frustrated not to make an appearance for the Midlanders in the latter half of the 89/90 season but his endeavour was rewarded almost ten months after joining the twice European Champions. Woan made his debut for The Reds on 2 January 1991 as a substitute in the 6-2 victory over Norwich City and went on to make 12 appearances that season adding 3 league goals to the team's cause. Woan successfully forced himself into first team contention with consistent displays down the left wing as Forest reached the FA Cup Final, and started as Forest recorded 16 goals in just 3 games. While considered to be lacking pace and work-rate, this was more than compensated by his fierce shooting and elegant passing.
