Alfred Spedding Wood (born 1879) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre forward. He was born in Workington, Cumberland.
Wood began his career at Blackpool, but did not make any League appearances in his one season with the club. He joined fellow Football League Second Division side Burnley in June 1905[1] and made his Clarets debut on 25 December in place of the unavailable Dick Smith. He scored in the 4–1 win against his former club Blackpool. Wood made four further appearances for the club, but failed to get on the scoresheet again. His final Burnley match came on 28 April 1906, the last day of the 1905–06 season, in the 1–3 defeat away at Stockport County.[2] Wood left Burnley in May 1906 and returned to his hometown club, Workington.
