952 The Storm Approaches

When George Wood appeared on the pitch, the England fans in the stands let out a huge cheer. They chanted Wood's nickname, "Saint George" over and over again, and completely quashed the French fans' bluster.

They could not help but get excited. It had been more than two months. Even though George Wood came on as a substitute in the games against Germany and Sweden, it was his first time in the starting lineup for months. What did it mean for George Wood to be in the starting lineup? Saint George's right big toe had completely healed! They did not have to worry about anything in the next game.
