International career
On 26 January 1995, Woodhead played the first half of England's 1–1 friendly draw against Italy in Florence. She was substituted off for Hope Powell at half–time. On the day of the match Woodhead had been admonished by the England management for wearing non–regulation trousers.
Woodhead was overlooked for the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup squad by manager Ted Copeland. It was suggested to Woodhead that the dress code breach was reflective of her attitude: "So it looks like I've been dropped for wearing the wrong trousers. And what can you say to that? But it doesn't make you feel like going again, does it?"
