Best ever Oxford goals
Best ever Oxford goals
Seems an apt time to start a little thread about best Oxford goals. This isn't a competition, just a chance to remember...
Assuming that Leven and Beauchamp will feature a lot in this thread, I'll chuck in some other personal favourites.
Matt Green (Wembley)
Alfie Potter (Ditto)
Paul Moody's swivel and thunderbolt (Bradford away)
Paul Moody's Maradona-esque dribble (Cardiff away)
Matt Murphy's overhead kick (Cardiff away)
Chris Hackett's "Giggs v Arsenal" effort vs Northampton (home)
Yemi Odubade's lob vs Dagenham (home)
Matt Murphy's volley vs Reading (away)
Joey Beauchamp's run and top corner classic vs Millwall on my Birthday
Joey Beauchamp at Tranmere.
Didn't Powelly scored a belter against someone too ... Forest in the cup. I'll check.
David Penney's piledriver v Wolves
David Penney's chip vs Cambridge.
Keep em coming.

Bobby Ford's goal against Southampton at the Dell in the League cup. They scored, we kicked off, passed the ball to Bobby in the centre circle, who proceeded to beat 3/4 players and then from 30ish yards out curled it into the top corner.
It was so soon after the Saints goal, the TV cameraman completely missed it as he was filming the crowd. Only about 1500 yellows there to see it as well.

Peter Rhodes-Brown v Walsall away.
John Aldridge overhead kick against Cardiff away.
Matt Murphy against Notts County away. Not because it was a wonder goal but because it was like a soft back pass which bobbled over the keeper's foot as he went to clear it.
Mick Vintner v Reading away in under 20 seconds.
Steve Biggins header against Man. U. at home. Not so much a header as it hit his face and looped over the keeper.
Derek Clarke against Man. U. at home I think it was the fist time we ever played them in the league.

It was & it was on Match of the Day - very rare for us in those bygone days to see our goals again on telly. Shame was all before video recorders and HDDs."A-Ro" wrote:Derek Clarke against Man. U. at home I think it was the fist time we ever played them in the league.

Giuliano Grazioli gets my vote. I was getting a tad nervous until that fab header.

It WAS a soft back-pass! And the centre-back making the back-pass was ex-Oxford player Mark Warren."A-Ro" wrote:Matt Murphy against Notts County away. Not because it was a wonder goal but because it was like a soft back pass which bobbled over the keeper's foot as he went to clear it.

Re:
Yes indeed, strike that one. This is back to Ancient Colin's comment re memory. You are of course right, I now remember saying at the time that the keeper fluffed it because of the "pressure" that he was being put under by Matt Murphy. As I was writing it I was thinking why was the keeper looking to kick it out if it was a soft shot from Matt? surely he would have been looking to pick it up, well now I know."Dr Bob" wrote:It WAS a soft back-pass!

For KassStadt goal, Deano's freekick versus Northampton - partly because we have been so bad at set pieces for so long, partly for the technique.

I thought Joeys goal against Exeter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8G8p-5eWHQ was pretty good and was the best goal at the KasStad until Jamie Cooks last season, techinically is was fanatasic, dropping ball, from a standing position and he managed to keep it down and also get lots of power behind it.
Deanos freekick against Chelsea from miles out in a pre season game was pretty good as well especially as it was against Cudicini (although they can't have had that strong a team out as Rob Wollaston scored for them).
