It was a hot August Saturday at Plough Lane and it was watched by a paltry
first division attendance of just over 4,000.

We scored in the first half through Martin Foyle and were well on top but
we defended too deep as the second half wore on and the Dons got that very,very late leveller through Cork. I was raging in the car going home because we threw away two vital points because Peter Hucker went walkabouts.

I recall Billy Whitehurst being on the pitch for Oxford.
Defending too deep - now there's a surprise. Peter Hucker, now there's a goalie I'd rather forget. Better than Paul Kee though.

Man of the Match in the 1982 FA Cup final, I believe. Though I was never a great fan of his.

That tells its own story - the goalkeeper of the losing side is the man of the match.

Different story though. That game finished 1-1.

I'm pretty sure Peter Hucker will be the only player ever to go on loan from Oxford United to Manchester United.

Wonder if the &quotchant&quot based on Seven Nation Army that seems so popular at Euro 2008 will cross over to England next season?
