We certainly boxed up QPR then lugged that cup round the national stadium! So pleased that I got to do Wembley with my dad before he passed away. In 1974 my mum suggested he took me to church ... he did .... his church ... up The Manor.I was two. My family was moving from one house in Abingdon to another in the same town. Lots of lugging boxes up and down stairs I imagine.
Good times.
My favourite ever OUFC player. Always remember a piece Brian Glanville of The Times wrote about the England 1986 World Cup squad.. " Trevor Hebberd of Oxford United is a far better player than Peter Reid of Everton and Hebberd should be on the plane to Mexico " . And Hebberd would have caught Maradona for the second goal. Which means England would have won the World Cup!!??!!I was already jumping up to celebrate before Trevor Hebberd scored....knew it was going in... He ran the whole game for Oxford. A true class player
Yep, my fave too. Trouble is if you start recalling memories of Hebberd gliding through a match it brings the mediocrity of much of what followed him into perspective.My favourite ever OUFC player.

I remember them too, funny asI was there!!!!! I still remember the QPR fans who had brought in a coffin with United's logo on it traipsing away after the match still carrying it.![]()
