    To take out Trapattoni?

    Really liked the Equaliser - Woodward was a good guy by all accounts.

    Great actor. RIP.

    Do the younger folk remember The Equalizer? One of the best programs on TV in the late 80's.

    Refresh your memory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Equalizer

    We need an Equalizer to deal justice to the scum...oops, we have The Citizen for that :)

    Loved Edward Woodward as The Equaliazer. But his terrified 'Lord is my shepherd' speech in the Wickerman is one of the most haunting images with sound I can think of.

    Ahh that's sad.

    I watched The Wicker Man last friday night, for the first time in ages. What a weird/great movie.

    Came across as a nice guy.

    RIP :(

    One of the guys from The Police did that theme tune IIRC.

    RIP Woodie. Think he was married to Betty, Frank Spencers long suffering wife.

    RIP.

    Loved the Equaliser, recently bought Series 1 of it, haven't watched/rewatched it yet.

    And for any Babylon 5 nerds out there, "Galen" (Peter Woodward) in Babylon 5 Crusade was Edward Woodwards son.

    RIP.

    I can remember vividly staying up later than my bedtime on Thursday nights as a kid to watch The Equalizer. Loved the theme tune too. I loved it when he would go right up to the boss of whichever gang he was dealing with without fear and watching the other guy flinching at been stood up to.

    Yes and any 'real' B5 fans would know Edward Woodward made the occasional appearance in the original B5. God that show was great. For some reason he's not credited for it on IMDB or wikipedia thou.
