At the end of Portsmouth's home fixture against West Bromwich Albion on 25 October 1986, Wood and teammate Micky Quinn were both ejected from the ground by police officers after being overheard swearing at a linesman during the second half of the game. Chief Inspector David Hanna of Hampshire Constabulary said they would have been ejected at half-time if the incident had happened in the first half.[4]
