On this day in 1997 - the U’s sold Matt Elliott to Leicester for a then record fee of £1.6m.

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! :ROFLMAO:

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!!

The electrician who put 50p. in the meter happened to be a visiting Oxford fan.

We all then wished he hadn’t bothered.

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.....
