Laura Woods reveals she was so obsessed with England legend she used to dress up as him and wear a mask
LAURA WOODS has revealed that she was “obsessed” with David Seaman as a kid.
As Woodsy was growing up, Seaman starred between the sticks for her beloved Arsenal.
While appearing on Fake News with Amelia Dimz, Woods had to present facts about herself – with host Amelia Dimoldenberg then having to guess if they were true or not.
During the game, Woods admitted that she would dress up as her hero Seaman, while also signing notes with his signature phrase.
She said: “I was so obsessed with David Seaman, Arsenal goalkeeper, I used to dress up as him around the house.
“And I used to sign bits of paper with his phrase, ‘safe hands’, but I’d say ‘safe hands, Laura Woods’.”
Later quizzed if she’d met Seaman and told him about her childhood fandom, Woods replied: “I did actually.
“He loved it. So we used to do a radio show together and it was one of the first stories that I told him.
“I said ‘I used to sign your name’ but what I’d do is write it on a bit of paper and leave them around the house.
“My brothers were like ‘Laura, not again’.”

Then asked why Seaman, rather than other players, Woods said: “David Seaman went through a period of time where he had long hair in a ponytail and I love long hair on a man.
“I’m really obsessed.”
Dimoldenberg went on to guess that this fact was true, with Woods confirming that she was indeed a David Seaman obsessive.
