Nordin Sibadich Wooter (born 24 August 1976) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a winger.
Wooter was born in Breda, and started playing at OSV and AVV Zeeburgia before joining the youth academy of Ajax. He entered the Ajax first team at the time of the successes between 1994 and 1996 where he became the national champion twice and won the UEFA Champions League with the team. On 17 April 1996, he became the first teenager ever to score in a UEFA Champions League semi-final. This happened during the 1995–96 season in an away match against Panathinaikos, in which Wooter scored the third and last goal after two previous goals by Jari Litmanen.[1]
A spell at La Liga side Real Zaragoza followed, before in 1999 Wooter joined English Premier League club Watford for a then club-record fee of £950,000.[2] He made his debut for Watford in a memorable 1–0 win over Chelsea,[3] and went on to score three goals for the club, against Leicester City,[4] Norwich City[5] and Wimbledon.[6]
After short periods at RBC Roosendaal and Braga, he was successful in 2004 with Anorthosis Famagusta in Cyprus. He was taken over by Panathinaikos during the 2004–05 season. In the 2006–07 season he played for Sivasspor and a season later he ended his playing career with AEK Larnaca.
