Stuart Wood
Stuart Wood first appeared on Countdown on 20 March 2001, beating Neil Sparham 44-35 in the 61st heat of series 44. he won a further 6 games before losing to John Rainsden. Stuart's 7 wins were enough to earn him a place in the finals as #3 seed, and in the quarter-final and semi-final he defeated David Roe and Tim Robinson respectively to earn a place in the final against John Rainsden, the same man who had denied him his eighth victory. This time, victory was to be Stuart's, as he unscrambled the crucial conundrum LANCASTER in 8.5 seconds to win 59-48 and become the 44th champion of Countdown. Stuart was invited back for Championship of Champions XI, but had to pull out prior to recording due to illness.
