John Terence Woodgate (11 December 1919 – 26 April 1985) was an English footballer who played for West Ham United and Peterborough United as a Winger.

Born in East Ham, London, Woodgate was at home on either wing. He made his Second Division debut before World War II, against Bradford Park Avenue on 7 April 1939. During World War II Woodgate served with the Essex Regiment and the Royal Artillery.[1] Woodgate gained a regular place in the Hammers team after the war and was ever-present during the 1950-51 season. He went on to make 275 appearances for the east London club, scoring 52 goals.[2] He scored a hat-trick in seven minutes against Plymouth Argyle in 1946.[1]

With emerging competition from Harry Hooper and Malcolm Musgrove, Woodgate left West Ham to join Peterborough United in March 1954.[3] He subsequently played for March Town United.

After finishing his football career he became the landlord of the Cock Inn Public House in March, Cambridgeshire. Woodgate died 26 April 1985.[1]
