ON THIS DAY

February 8th 1975

On this day 50 years ago a first half strike from Derek Clarke saw the U’s defeat Manchester United 1-0 in what is now the Championship.

U’s: R Burton - J Light D Roberts C Clarke J Shuker - H McGrogan B Jeffrey C Duncan S Aylott - A McCulloch D Clarke

Att: 15,815

Why have none of the players got their shirts on backwards during the celebrations?
