General Most You've Celebrated An Oxford Goal

[Jster]

Steve Anthrobus' goal on debut at Stoke to win the game for us was another good one. Stoke were title favourites, but we were the ones with the s**t hot striker...

Nathan Holland last minute equaliser against Newcastle in the fa cup 2020. Watching it at home and Mrs mooro to this day comments in disbelief about how me and my son both leapt off the sofa in unison....

2010/11 vs Port Vale.

They equalised in the 92nd. They invaded the pitch.
We kicked off and within seconds Tom Craddock won it for us. I completely lost it and almost broke my shin on the seat in front. I still have the scar.

It was oddly attributed to Matt Green for ages. The commentator says Craddock but the graphic says Green.



Still, a lovely injury time winner.

 

[Stranger]

Definitely Craddock - was right in front of me when I was in the East Stand

Boy those home shirts were awful.

 

[dickwalton1964]

Can’t recall celebrating one quite as wildly as I did Potter’s goal at Wembley that sealed our return to the football league. Hall’s winner at Swindon and Beano’s double all memorable too. I’m sure there were lots back in the 70’s and 80’s as well but memory fading !

 

[dickwalton1964]

Another I remember was Dave Penny’s late winner v Wolves early 90’s - we were battling to stay up, they were top two or three I think. O-0 in about the 89th minute and Penny hits one top corner, 30 yards out, London Road end ! Cue mayhem !

 

[Burglar Bill]

Beano's header deep into injury time against Wrexham in 08/09 that hit the underside of the bar, down, and up into the roof of the net to win the game 1-0 and keep the playoff charge going for another week.

Also, for some totally bizarre reason, Gary Twigg's penalty against Forest Green at the death on opening day a while back was good fun.

That’s got to be one of our worst ever kits. The white numbers, the godawful bridle logo, white trim on shorts and socks, and of course the distinct lack of yellow. Add in the old shitty font for the EFL names and numbers and it’s just terrible.

 

[Common Villager]

I don't think I'll ever experience something like Hall's goal at the dump again. Absolute euphoria.

Martinez' at Boro also sticks out for me. We went tumbling.

Beano's at home vs Rushden in the second leg of the playoffs is perhaps the most emotional I've felt after a goal.

Some from more recent memory:

- Ruffels away at Shrewsbury (just before covid)

- Jerome Sinclair away at Walsall

- Henry away at Doncaster

- I also really enjoyed Baptiste's vs West Ham. The celebration wasn't wild as we were already comfortably ahead, but it was the cherry on the cake of what was one of the best ever performances at the Kassam

 

[tonto]

Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned but Davey Sloans diving header against the scum in the 70s and in front of the London Road!

 

[90syeIlow]

I know it sounds weird to say now we're in the Championship, but there were some really special wins in non league and games with electric atmosphere

 

[Northstand grandad]

Hall vs Scum..... was just on the right eye line to know it was going in

Jefferson Louis vs Scum.

Dave Langan vs Arsenal.

Joey B v Blackpool

Joey B v Tranmere

Jim Magilton (I think) v Pompey in "that" 5-5 draw.

Alfie Potter.............

And there are more!

Portsmouth 5:5....wasn't that chrissy A?

Portsmouth 5:5....wasn't that chrissy A?

 

[AssHead]

For those saying Dunkley v Wycombe, pretty sure the 3rd goal (O’Dowda) might have had even more energy. 30secs later we were all on the pitch!!

 

[AssHead]

Eastwood's penalty save winning us the shootout vs Sunderland to reach the league cup quarter finals - I went f*****g mental!

I really miss that London Road classic song: “let’s go f*****g mental, let’s go f*****g mental, La La La La, Oo, La La La La, Oo”. Being that back please East Stand’ers.

 

[witney50]

Going 1 0 up at old trafford (brocky) it was 1 1 by the time the celebration finished.

 

[TobyDavis34]

I know it sounds weird to say now we're in the Championship, but there were some really special wins in non league and games with electric atmosphere

And some of our darkest days.

Northwich Victoria away. There was maybe 600 people there. It was December. It was f*****g miles away. And we lost 1-0.

Just about the only thing I miss from the national league days was “my garden shed” and “s**t ground no fans”

 

[Thecurraghofkildare]

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

Late to this thread but that’s a great list and very similar to my own. Would add in Keith Cassels away to Brighton in the FA Cup and Rob Hall away to Swindon.

Biggest celebration was probably Alfie Potter - pure limbs - given its significance and the fact that it guaranteed the win. Closely followed by Joey’s screamer vs Blackpool.
