General Best ever OUFC free kick?

[Emilio]

Re-watching Chris Maguire's nonchalant free kick away at Boro, it got me wondering about other great OUFC free kicks. What other memorable ones are up there for you?

The other one that immediately comes to mind is Brannagan vs Cardiff.

 

[Left Wing Cross]

This one is pretty good:

 

[unification]

Josh Payne v Northampton (2010), 0.25s in and filmed on a potato.



Dean Whitehead v Northampton (2003), 0.7s in and also filmed on a boiled potato.

 

[Sarge]

Jim Magilton away at Leeds in the FA Cup ( in extra time) is right up there for me


It was one of the last times he kicked a ball in an Oxford shirt, if memory serves he was sold the next day

 

[Beech Road Bokelberg]

Still brings a tear to my eye - the sheer elation!

He scored a cracking free kick away to Charlton in that season they played their home games at Crystal Palace

I also remember Maguire's free kick, but against Bolton in the spring of 2017. That hit into the top corner was simply perfect.

Phil Trainer away at Rushden and Diamonds.

This isn't bad by Banger:

 

[Older Shotts]

Most of Simmos. He could bend the ball far better than bloody Beckham or that Brazillian guy.

Great goal, but that wasn't a free kick though, he ran through and chipped the keeper.

 

[SteMerritt]

Brock at Old Trafford was a great strike.

 

[OnlyOneUnited]

Josh Payne v Northampton (2010), 0.25s in and filmed on a potato.



Dean Whitehead v Northampton (2003), 0.7s in and also filmed on a boiled potato.

That Dean Whitehead one is the one that immediately came to my mind. Absolutely smacked it into the top corner!

 

[Sutton Yellow]

Most of Simmos. He could bend the ball far better than bloody Beckham or that Brazillian guy.

Cracker against Wolves.

 

[NorthWestOx]

This one is pretty good:

Neville Southall in goal (iirc!)

 

[Front Post]

Phil Trainer away at Rushden and Diamonds.

Great minds.

I've been searching for a video since I saw this thread just to add something at the other end of the spectrum.

Must be some Brannagan ones worth mentioning.

 

[Front Post]

Dean Whitehead v Darlington (03/04), around 32 seconds.

Always stuck in my head this game. Probably because of Woodman's antics prior.

 

[Front Post]

Adam Chapman v Burton away (we f**ked your party up). Start of this video



Alex Mowatt v Walsall (45 seconds)



Brannagan v Cheltenham

 

[Sarge]

Great goal, but that wasn't a free kick though, he ran through and chipped the keeper.

me memory aint what it was

The first person I saw score a free kick live, one of those players who probably doesn't get enough mentions, was class for us.

Indeed. Not a free kick this one, but just to emphasise his technique and wand of a left foot...

There’s also a cracking Magilton free kick in that same game, 12 s in.

 

[Another Melbourne Ox]

Simpson free kick here v Fulham in 1989, 5:10. Eventful game, but awful result. Was that the last time we played Fulham?

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Adam Chapman vs Burton Albion.

This isn't bad by Banger:

Mad that Banger celebrates by jumping on the lino's back at the end - can't imagine a player could do that now without receiving an immediate red card!

 

[OohJonnyLager]

Are any of these better than Cam’s thunderbolt away at Cardiff?

If considered a ‘true’ free kick. It was rolled to him.

Remember this game so vividly, and how this ball got stuck in the net

Not as bad as the sexpest Swindon player so a 5 game ban.

Joey Beauchamp - first touch perfect, second touch into space, third touch - see ya later. The game came so easily to him when he was on it.
