Rodney William Woodward (September 22, 1944 – September 27, 2016) was a defensive back in the Canadian Football League for twelve years. Woodward won the Grey Cup as a member of the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1973 and 1976. In 2009 he was sentenced to jail for "stealing $185,000 from two elderly clients to pay gambling debts" but his wife believes that this may have been a consequence of injuries he suffered during his football career.[1] He died in 2016 after a fall, having experienced the effects of dementia in his later years.[2][3]
