i don't suppose you counted them did youWas there also - remember Oxford fans all over the Magic Roundabout before and afterwards - utter mayhem inside and outside the ground.

not that I can confirm this as in anyway official... but, I sort of like to think a visit from Oxford some years before the Eric read/ smokebomb game was part responsible for the magic roundabout being constructed! - ,- we took the Town end , but lost on the pitch ( it may even have been 4-0 or 4-1? ) , at that pre magic roundabout time, there was a huge roundabout instead, Oxford left the ground and 'took' the roundabout, a long and length rendition of knees up mother brown by several thousand Oxford, followed by traffic in all directions being totally gridlocked for some time, .... followed by more mayhen on the eventual way to the station along Manchester road (?)Was there also - remember Oxford fans all over the Magic Roundabout before and afterwards - utter mayhem inside and outside the ground.

Billy Hamilton's final OUFC goal. An absolute legend, despite only playing 41 times for the club (20 goals). I think the only 'current' Oxford player to appear at a World Cup?On this day in 1986 we beat Arsenal 3-0 to stay in the top flight:

But it wasn't just 'on the pitch' , it was in the penalty area we were defending! From what I could see anyway.
Certainly a game I will never forget. As the game entered its last few minutes a smoke bomb was thrown onto the pitch by a Scum supporter and, amidst the confusion, the referee did not stop the game which allowed Swindon to score a late winner.
No, he was at Liverpool when he played in the WC, in fact he'd left by the time he scored the winner for Ireland v England in the '88 EurosRay Houghton?
Whilst i get where your coming from, it would be good to remember events on the pitch depending of course of your definition of OrdinaryWish we still got some of this tasty stuff from time to time - think of it what you will but which of our recent "ordinary" matches will still be stuff of Oxford folklore in 40 years time...

I get where you are coming from to a point, but also think the game in the UK has moved on for the better. I still hate that lot in a way that any sensible person shouldn’t - but this said, value being able to come back to the UK and take my older teenager son to games without being concerned with what may or may not happen.Wish we still got some of this tasty stuff from time to time - think of it what you will but which of our recent "ordinary" matches will still be stuff of Oxford folklore in 40 years time...
