General Most You've Celebrated An Oxford Goal

[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.

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

 

[Marked Ox]

I celebrated his 1-yard tap-in away to Derby just as much as that. 2-2 draw, blazing sunshine, loud away support. Great day, shame we couldn't hold on for 3 points.

Edit: And his winner away to Watford in a 1-0 win at Vicarage Road. He strode through the middle of their defence before firing home.

What a legend.

Yes on that Derby goal. He went nuts with that goal unsurprisingly and we all followed. I think Simmo score one of theirs?

Moods' goal at Ninian Park when he ran through the Cardiff team from our half.

Moods' goal at Wycombe which led to that photo.

 

[Beech Road Bokelberg]

Mentioned already I think but Magiltons winning goal at Leeds in extra time to win 3:2. I didn't go to this game, but listened at home with my dad on the radio.

I remember that hug of celebration so vividly and if I close my eyes I'm back there

Another one I remember with my dad was being stood down the front at Swindon away when Dave Penny scored! Didn't need fake limbs then!

THANK YOU for starting this thread - bless you

 

[carefreeoufc]

Levens half way line goal was good fun. Constable away at the skip was probably the most because of the occasion.

Lots of goals to be fair.

 

[Peterdev]

How about David Rush with a last minute goal against Blackpool in 1996
David David Rush

 

[SteMerritt]

Mentioned already I think but Magiltons winning goal at Leeds in extra time to win 3:2. I didn't go to this game, but listened at home with my dad on the radio

The goal I celebrated the most whilst listening on the radio was Dean Saunders late winner at Luton in '87 that kept us in the top flight. Dancing around to the RadOx commentary when it went in.

And the goal I celebrated the most following via Teletext was Jefferson Louis' winning penalty in the shootout at Charlton in the League Cup.

The only disappointing thing about Magilton's goal that night was the stewards had been moved, replaced by the Police, after they celebrated the Leeds equaliser in the faces of the us in the away end. In the process causing trouble where there hadn't been any.

To have celebrated that back in their faces instead would have been magic as well as doing likewise at the final whistle.

 

[Jster]

Tom Craddock's late late winner against top of the table Port Vale, when they'd equalised in second half added time. We scored basically immediately afterwards. Cue pandemonium.

Ah yeah I remember that one. I think some of their fans went on the pitch when they equalised. Seem to remember there being a bit of trouble that day.

The odd thing about that game is I have a false memory of its being a night game. I looked it up and it was Saturday 3pm. In early October too, so not even dark.

 

[RgYellows]

Bring back WICOG

 

[TailsWeWin]

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.

That made it 2-0

 

[Big Ron]

Paul Moody’s goal at Cardiff, part of a hat trick and i swear he dribbled past 43 players,

 

[tonto]

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

So many more

Keith Cassells at brighton sealed the comfortable victory. And all his other goals that season when he was on fire then we foolishly moved him on.

 

[tonyw]

And the goal I celebrated the most following via Teletext was Jefferson Louis' winning penalty in the shootout at Charlton in the League Cup.

That was the goal I was just about to mention - although I did celebrate it at the Valley.
That was us, as a League Two side, knocking a Premier League team out of the League Cup, and it felt to all the world like the start of a turnaround for the club after the dire Smith Mk.2/Kemp/Wright years. Little did we know.......

One of two goals where I kind of lost time after the ball hit the back of the net, and when I came to, I was several seats away hugging a complete stranger.
(the other was Alfie at Wembley, although that might have been extra points because the guy I found myself hugging was a Pompey fan.......)

Joey v Blackpool 1-0
Moody at swindon 1-1

Mick Vinter's 9 second goal at Elm Park

 

[BillyTurleys CurlyWurly]

Nicky Wroe - Wycombe away I think

 

[SSO]

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

Yeah must have been about then. Was a horrible place to go to then.

 

[SSO]

Mick Vinter's 9 second goal at Elm Park

I was going to mention that one. I might be wrong but was it a David Fogg chip into the box Joe Cooke knock down and Vinter on the volley from 12 yards?

 

[Berliner]

Martin Aldridge's late winner at Carlisle. Open terrace and limbs all over the place.
