Not a good result for us, but that was a lovely goal!!

Footage of Oxford 2 Liverpool 2 from 1985. The only point we have managed to take off them. The footage is notable for two things, firstly that abomination of a fence which we were subjected to during our stay in the top flight which went all around the ground and was topped with barbed wire, and for the comical own goal set up by Rosie which gave us a late equaliser.

Must have been there, but slipped my memory. This was after our great run in '64. The Cuckoo Lane end looked so shallow! Perhaps we can have another good run starting Saturday.

Thoroughly enjoyable game as they all were that year. I think there were supporters clambering in the roof to get a view as they couldn’t get in

He was certainly a plucky player

He was certainly a plucky player

Not sure David Speedie will have called him that, probably something a bit stronger.

 

[Coffin dodger]

John Trewick not Les Phillips

The run in to the end of the season was incredible, beating Darlington 1-0 with another Cyril Beavon penalty. I was on the wall just to the right of the goal London Road end.
We had so many goalscorers
Colin Booth 23 in 45
Graham Atkinson 12 in 18
Bill Calder 12 in 24
John Fahy 10 in 11 AMAZING
Tony Jones and others also chipped in.
Great scenes on the pitch at the end of the Darlington game.
