Les Woodford (11 May 1897 – 23 May 1965) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Originally from Camberwell,[1] Woodford played for Hawthorn in their inaugural VFL season in 1925.[2] He was the first Hawthorn player to kick five goals in a game, doing so in their round three loss to Collingwood.[3] By the end of the year he had kicked 20 goals, which was enough to top their goal-kicking.[3]
The next season he returned to Camberwell.[4]
