On this Day - only 35 years ago.
Oxford 1 - 1 Everton
Merseyside/liverpool police seemed to be on some sort of competition with each other before/ during/ after that game racking up nickings of OUFC supporters.... police snatch squads were in the upper tier of the away end (which housed a number of toffees supporting scousers towards the back!) nicking OUFC fans for things as minimal as looking behind in amazement (that home fans were in the same seating area as away fans)! there were posters around in the ground with a long list of things 'not permitted' and bindipper old bill enforced each n every one of them to the letter. 6 people off the coach I travelled up on were collared before/during/ after that game.... all 6 let go on bail in the early hours , all 6 fined £50 in court around a week later....all for very questionable ' offences'... no FSF in those days
Paul Hinshelwood's late goal was a welcome consolation, and a long distance screamer
- Year of First Game
- 1980
His only for the club I believe as well. What a strike.
if youre only going to score one goal while playing for any particular football club, make it memorable .... and that Hinshelwood screamer was without question memorable

FAC R3 Watford 2-0 Oxford U
Isn’t this the game we all got FREE tickets for after the original game was abandoned ?

Power failure or something wasn't it?
The electrician who put 50p. in the meter happened to be a visiting Oxford fan.
We all then wished he hadn’t bothered.

IIRC we played Wolves away the weekend before and Matt E was , fairly obviously, trying not to get injured. I can remember a fair few of us "telling him what we thought"............... with Mrs Elliott (a fine looking lass) in the row of seats in front!

I think we queued and paid for the first, then went to the back of the queue and got another for free which we passed on...….but memory what it is!!
Yeah that’s the one, I’m sure a few fans went round in circles getting a few freebies.

Shotts was at one of the abandoned games as we were chatting to him for ages whilst we waited before it was called off.

I thought it at the time and it still bugs me today - if only young Elliott Jackson had had the courage of his convictions and dived fully instead of seeming to semi-pull out at the last second, he would have been a hero instead of another in the list of forgotten keepers from that era.....

Smoke bombs, crash barriers & hoarding trown on to the pitch, referee Eric Reid felled by a coin .(after allowing a scum goal to stand despite oufc keeper being evoloped in smoke & unsighted)... 37 years ago

37 years on , earlier today, oufc u18s beat scum u18s 3-0 , our keeper saved a pen, chaos after (for scum) scum keeper howler for the first, lopez sent off for punching a scum player in a melee, young U's go on to win 3-0 and p**s on scum youngsters title aspirations
