Apologies if this has already been posted, I know that the club released VHS / DVD copies of this multiple times over the last 30 years, but haven't seen this pre-match stuff in ages.... prob not since watching the old Betamax that my nan recorded it on in late 80s! :)


Memory of happier days!

Really enjoyed watching that. Happy memories.
 
Well I hadn't seen that before, and it's priceless. I'd forgotten that Jimmy Hill played for OUFC... and Dennis Waterman! Just a great bit of tv, and made me very nostalgic. "Different class", as Shotts was already saying!
 
Had never seen that footage of the build up to my first live match- loved watching it! Forgot how much twaddle Saint and greavsie used to talk!

Still more interesting than most of the twaddle that gets spoken before TV games now. :)

Thanks for posting this as I've never seen it.
 
Great stuff. What ever happened to building up a cup final in this way?
 
What a great atmosphere we created that day. Nobody took our flags, balloons and banners away - I remember the one near me: “Phillips is Electric!”
One banner that has always stuck in my mind from what was arguably the U's finest day ever was en route to wembley via m40....on the side of the left hand chalk cliff of stokenchurch hill cutting was a huge white banner with the words 'sing your hearts out for the lads' in yellow and blue letters...... respect to whoever risked life n limb to ensure it was in place for the travelling yellow hordes on the m40 to see n draw inspiration for
 
Always regretted we had to return home to Gloucestershire rather than stay in Oxford that evening!
