On the subject of unexpected mentions of OUFC, yesterday I started a novel by Peter Tickler an Oxford based crime writer, who is obviously an Oxford fan, The book is Blood on the Cowley Road. Two cenrtral characters are OUFC fans although sadly one has been murdered and ended up in Iffley lock, There is a scene outside the Priory pub before a match v Bristol Rovers with mentions of Julian Alsop and Paul Wanless so that dates when the novel is set.
I will say no more as some may wish to track down this book.
If you enjoy crime fiction like Morse, Rubus and Thursday Murder Club (not deep and meaningful) you will enjoy Peter Tickler's novels, many set around Oxford.
