Current Player #8 Cameron Brannagan

[SteMerritt]

How many penalties has Brannagan missed for us, one maybe?

Missed at home to Wycombe, can't think of any others of the top of my head.

I think he might have missed one in a shoot out in one of the cups perhaps? Either way, it's a hell of a record.

 

[RgYellows]

Let’s stop this convo right now chaps.

And I believe that with 53 goals, he is 2 off the 10th highest ever OUFC scorer ( Matt Murphy with 55)

Rageonline disagrees with you!

For starters, it has Cam on 54 now:

And then it indeed has Murph on 55.....but only in 12th place in the history of OUFC goalscorers.

Cam still needs another half dozen to catch Billy Rees for 10th place.....and that's assuming James Henry doesn't go nuts and net a hatrick at Wembley to make up for not shooting!

Also missed at Crewe (annual 6-goal rumble at the road), but scores from the rebound.

That will teach me to use Wikipedia not rageonline!!
BUT. Billy Rees I think was a Headington United player- so a bit of a Grey area

I believe the RageOnline database (which, fact fans, I set up the first version of before handing it over to Martin Brodetsky to take over in the mid 1990s) covers all games since the club went professional, so a valid entry on the list.

Cameron Brannagan: Oxford United saved my eyesight – and probably my life

Former Liverpool midfielder is determined to pay his club back for their support in Saturday’s League One play-off final against Bolton

Can anyone post a link to a non paywalled version?

Open it in that

 

[SteMerritt]

It opened fine for me from the link. Good article.

 

[chromeyellow]

Thanks, great piece and really astonishing to read the change it made in his outlook

I hope someone’s made sure that Dr Sharma has got tickets for the game.

 

[Salaghaf]

This is the best part from the interview:

“Klopp did try to send Brannagan out on one loan - but it was a deal he pushed back on. "It's actually weird because he wanted me to go on loan to Swindon and I said no," he says, mentioning Oxford's bitterest rivals.
"I am not from round here and I didn't know about the rivalry then but I said: 'I ain't going there; no chance. I don't know why but I was just adamant I wasn't going to Swindon.”

 

[tonto]

And the world record holder for the most penalties scored in one match. Amazing achievement to have on your record eat your hearts out Messi Pele Maradona Cams the top man!!

 

[BrockBuster]

Championship midfielder Cameron Brannagan.

And a bloody well deserved one too.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

So happy for this guy. Plays his heart out for the club. Loves the club. Has stuck with us when he could have jumped to a championship club. This will mean more to him than most.

Ps someone send a carrier pigeon to blackpool with the news. I hope we poach their best player if they have one

 

[Danny777]

Fair play, he’s stuck with the club and now is a championship footballer. He’s one of the few that has taken his time and stayed to achieve what he came here to do. Massive respect.

 

[Northstandboy]

He was close too, if not crying during an interview.

This might make him sign a new deal. Reading the Telegraph article, he wants to give his all to the club and City that saved his eyesight.

 

[ChamonixOx]

So pleased for him - he has stuck with this club most of his career and always gives 110%. True legend - well done Cam.

 

[Foley]

Really happy for Cam.
Has stuck with us and at times has almost single handedly dragged us into games / kept us in games.
I reckon he is is a Championship quality player and nobody more deserved to be playing Championship football
