General Most You've Celebrated An Oxford Goal

[SteMerritt]

Beano’s goal against York at Wembley. At this point we knew we would win.

You were more confident than I was at 2-1 then, second half took an absolute age to go past. We were much more comfortable against Bolton than we were against York.

 

[Essexyellows]

A random one.............. Steve Anthrobus ..... away at Brentford (Griffin Park days)...... the few who were there celebrated as much for the man as the goal itself.

I can still visualise the ball rolling slowly through the mud with the Bus bearing down on it, all of 3 yards out you would still think he would miss but he didn`t !

 

[Peterdev]

The Grazioli own goal to put us 1-0 up against Peterborough just after half time. We won 4-0 but added spice was the first goal.
Joey scoring against Swindon on his return in a yellow shirt.
Any of the six against Shrewsbury. All headed goals.
Trevor Hebberd against QPR at Wembley.

 

[Wallop]

Potter at Wembley, it was so important and guaranteed our place back in the League.

 

[Sir Winston]

Potter at Wembley, it was so important and guaranteed our place back in the League.

And every goal against those 6 finger inbred c@nts from Pig Hill

 

[Mad Dog]

Beano’s goal against York at Wembley. At this point we knew we would win.

Yeah I remember having a kitten when he scored that goal!

 

[Mad Dog]

Potter at Wembley, it was so important and guaranteed our place back in the League.

I remember screaming at Deering to give it back to Alfie, and ERUPTED when he scored!

Like you say, it was so important that we won that game, and I don't mind admitting, I was in tears for those last few minutes

 

[oufc1991]

Matt green’s goal against York that was the moment
Alfie Potter’s goal against York that eased the nerves
Beano at the skip after all the talk from Di Cuntio

My favourites are all from the Manor (great atmosphere standing on the Beech Road Terrace) or Wembley(s).

Steve Biggins winner v Man Utd Milk Cup 2nd replay 19 Dec 1983 First time I saw us beat a so called big club.

Dave Langan winner v Shrewsbury Wed 24 April 1985 confirming OUFC in top flight.

John Aldridge 23 Nov 1985 4-3 winner v Ipswich after being 0-3 down

Trevor Hebberd, Ray Houghton, Jeremy Charles v QPR Wembley 20 April 1986 OUFC winning silverware? Just amazing.

Joey Beauchamp 1-0 v Blackpool April 6 1996 Stunning 35 yard Easter Saturday volley that set us up for promotion the following month.

Alfie Potter v York City Wembley 16 May 2010 Back on the coupon!

Biggest celebration for a non-OUFC goal: May 2 1992 for David Speedie keeping us up with his hat-trick for Blackburn beating Plymouth after we won at Tranmere on the last day of the season

 

[bashamwonderland]

That Boro game, rolling down the concrete steps

 

[unification]

Astonished it hasn’t been mentioned more.

The best away day from the last decade - Ledson v Charlton 2018.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

In addition to the Wembley playoff final goals:

Beano away vs the scum 2011.
Moore v Peterborough 2024
All 4 of the goals v Peterborough 1996.
Magilton v Leeds 1993.

 

[NorthernExile]

Great thread.

Jack Midson injury time hat-trick goal and winner away at Torquay (4-3). Bring him home.

Chris Hargreaves injury time equaliser away at Weymouth. Police were very heavy handed that day; couldn't do anything about us celebrating like lunatics though.

James Constable home against Luton almost immediately after missing a pen. Made all the better by the away fans being in the middle of a rendition of 'who are ya.'

Cam Bran against Peterborough in the playoffs. Having not played the scum for a while, and Reading being such a pathetic football club, I found my reserves of hatred being transferred towards the likes of Peterborough. What a horrible football club. They thought it was in the bag after their goal, so the immediate response knocked the absolute stuffing out of them and made it all the more enjoyable.

Sercombe away at Carlisle. Still maybe my favourite ever away day. Limbs were fantastic.

 

[QR]

For me many are right up there but these are in the equal no.1 spot.

Kevin Brook's free kick at Old Trafford and Potter's at Wembley.

 

[duckyellow]

Great question...here goes. In no particular order.
Murphys second against Bolton.
Alfie Potter against York.
Steve Biggins against Man Utd (2nd replay).
Bobby MacDonald against Everton.
Sercombe at Carlisle.
Ledson at Charlton 3-2 game
Robbie Hall at Swindon
Beanos brace at Swindon
All 4 goals against Leeds league cup..what a night
Hebberd v QPR Milk Cup
Martinez equaliser at Middlesbrough...right up there.
I could go on and on

 

[Pgyellow]

Les Phillips in the last few minutes v Everton to keep us in the running to stay in division 1 in 1986. Loudest I could remember and played it back full volume over and over.

 

[SSO]

For me it is a toss up between Steve Biggins v Man Utd and David Langan v Arsenal.

However I have a candidate for least celebrated goal. Millwall away in the first minute we went 1 up and we didn't even realised we had scored until the ball was put back on the centre spot for Millwall to kick off again.

 

[RgYellows]

Brannagan vs Peterborough in the semi-final. Think every supporter in that ground was expecting the next one from Pbo after they got a first.

I passed out for a brief second during this.

Martinez - Boro

The happiest I’ve felt at football. All of the Wembley/promotion ones had too much riding on them. This was just ridiculous fun.

 

[bdodwell]

Steve Biggins v Man Utd
Andy Thomas v Newcastle
Keith Cassels at Brighton
Moody's at Cardiff

So many more

You thinking of 83/84 season, when we went on to lose 2-1 I think it was? My first away game, dad thought The Den was the perfect place for my first experience away
