This was the first football match I ever went to. 0-0 on 90 mins 1-0 to Oxford on 92 mins and 2 - 1 to Luton when the full whistle blew at 96 mins. Mental.
Ha ha Pompey fan at that game to see Lee Chapman’s only ever Pompey goal. Still little did we know premiership and two FA Cup finals to follow happy days
RIP Joey, the saviour of Oxford many times, and the most gifted player to pull a shirt on. You never could’ve known how much Oxford loves you, if only you could’ve loved yourself. X
I was a 13 year old kid stood in the away end with my Dad and Brother. Never forget this day, not because of the shocking score, but because of the crushes in the away end. I was crushed against the blue metal posts. Anybody that went to football in these days will know what I mean. The crowd surges on the terraces were just crazy and this game was one of the worse. You'd go from the back of the stand to the front of the stand in a second. Good old days. Leeds fans were a bit naughty back then too.
I worked at oxford utd as a match day steward from 2006 -2016 I miss working there as was sadly unlawfully dismissed due to illness tearing a miracle ligament in my left knee and loseing my mum then I lost my job at Oxford utd the day after I had lost my mum would love to be able to go back there miss it loads
I think that it was in the next round, the quarter finals, Oxford United faced Everton at the Manor Ground and were leading Everton 1-0, when Everton equalised to force a replay. I think Oxford were 8 minutes away from another Milk Cup upset
