Cardiff 1 - Oxford 3 1994 (THAT Moody goal)

[Deleted member 142]

Another treat of a find. I don’t think a goals compilation was made for 94/95 (please correct me if I’m wrong as I’d love to get hold one one) and these goals have eluded me until now.

A great win for Ox and features one of the all time great Paul Moody goals.

 

[Oxfordus]

Lovely. I especially loved his penalties. He was the howitzer!!

I was there but cant remember seeing that since. Thanks.
I always thought that goal started in our half. Not quite.

That season was indeed released as a compilation on VHS, as was the promotion season the following year.

 

[Peterdev]

Commentary was great too

I have the promotion year and the one preceeding it. Even on the hooky DVD transfers that did the rounds a few years ago, this season has always been missing.

Must look harder!

Shame it stopped really, would have thought season goal compilations would sell quite well.

Anyone who has a copy that I could buy, or arrange to make a copy of, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

That was a fantastic day. Moods was imperious and it was LIMBS for all of the goals. Got a tad edgy coming out after the game though.

 

[Johnox37en]

Happy days but not happy with the amount of red on display!

 

[SteMerritt]

That season was bloody weird. We started off playing glorious football, looked like we were going to walk the league. Top at Christmas from what I remember. We played Wycombe for the first time in the league on Boxing Day at The Manor, and managed to lose, a result which seemed to knock all the confidence out of the side and we went on a poor run and managed to miss out on even getting into the playoffs. (well that's my memory of it anyway)

 

[unification]

The red shorts though ... ?

more or less how I remember that season too.... all those chairmakers celebrating at the final whistle on boxing day ... it was as if theyd won the world cup .... suppose as previous WW visits to Oxford was playing against ' City , it was like winning the world cup , bless em

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Has there been a better U’s hat trick ?

Three superb finishes.

I’m sure Moods scored a brilliant goal at the Manor later that season when he ran
with the ball from around 50 yards out and finished under the ‘keeper at the LRE.
(Huddersfield?)

Yes, I remember the home supporters weren’t happy. Yellow scarves (and big grins) hidden on walk back to the car!

more of a glocs rugby 'cherry reds' fan was Russon, ...if memory serves ?

yes I think so but back in the day one couldn't say his name with out saying 'Swindon fan' much the same as one couldn't not add 'out' to Brian Horton

He's a Hereford fan and served on their board for a time.

I met him once and lightheartedly accused him of bias towards Swindon. He told me that he was often accused of the opposite by the freaks. I think he could tell that I was amazed that TV had reached their parts.

 

[SSU Dozer]

I seem to remember that in the return, at the Manor, Cardiff were intent on getting Moody sent off and kept fouling him until he retaliated and was dismissed.

 

[bicesterox]

The OB kept us back a while, then out us in police vans to get us back to the station without getting ambushed. When we got there we jumped out of the van, straight into loads of City just inside the station ? good timing from the OB

 

[GRB]

The red shorts though ... ?

Those were Cardiff's shorts that we borrowed.

 

[GRB]

Phil Stant scoring for Cardiff. Lower league journeyman striker and Falklands war veteran!

Remember that well. I remember Paul Wanless making a rare appearance for us that day and giving them some back!

Precisely.

Probably the most thuggish display I ever saw from a visiting team.

Paul Moody was guilty of little more of attempting to defend himself from a mob of assailants, and Cardiff for their part should have been down to 8 men by the end of 90 minutes.

A most spineless refereeing display, that day.
