New OUFC book: The Glory Years by Scott Walkinshaw

November 15th 1980.

I was one of the 2,526 in attendance that cold and wet day in 1980 although in reality there was probably less than 2,000 in the Manor Ground.
The club’s lowest ever EFL home attendance. It was Keith Cassell’s home debut as we beat Chester 1-0 thanks to a Joe Cooke effort.

Once Ian Greaves was appointed manager the following month the team’s performances were transformed.

PS: I ordered the book last night (not from Amazon).

Me too
 
Ordered, a look back at the glory years ⚽⚽⚽👍😀
 
all books should be able to be ordered through any local bookshop- the books ISBN number is helpful ( albeit not essential) in doing that
I'm just goin into town now to see if they've got it in stock in Waterstones/ Blackwell's & W H Smith.it says they've got it. If the club shop don't do it & I can't get it from either of those .
It'll have to be online. Hope I don't have to do it on line
 
Waterstones & Blackwell's have both got them on order. They will be in stock in a few days ,so you can buy them personally in shop if you don't do online shopping.
 
Thanks Cpt, have just ordered. Top player, toppest of top men and a mate. Going to love this! Typical of Micky Lew and the impact he'd have on anyone he met or worked with that two of the captain's he coached are now political documentary maker and a speech writer for an ex-PM and they've written the book about him. Going to be some great reading to do next week!
 
Yes all 3. Great days

I was there too. Our first home win of the season?
 
2 of the 3. Instead of Everton Milk Cup game, how about Villa semi final?
I did both legs of the Villa semi as well. There was terrible weather that year, the game kept getting pushed back because the Villa v Arsenal quarter-final was repeatedly postponed. The days before the M40 was completed, so quite a long coach trip up there.
