About Danny Westwood
Born 1953. Danny Westwood is a British association football player.
Career After an unsuccessful spell as a junior with Fulham, Westwood first came to prominence with Billericay Town of the Essex Senior League, where he scored 48 goals in one season. This brought him to the attention of Southend United, but he turned down a chance to join the Roots Hall club in favour of signing for Queens Park Rangers. In 1979, he was sent off in controversial circumstances in a match against Swindon Town, an incident which some cite as the beginning of the rivalry between the two clubs.
In 1981 Westwood moved into non-league football with Barnet and later had spells with Billericay Town, Grays Athletic, Canterbury City and Aveley.
