Bolton v OXFORD
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 6:03 am
Looking forward to a trip to the Macron Stadium.Did not go in October '98
as I was invited to watch Reading
v Gillingham (the Madejski had opened a few weeks earlier).
Oxford team that day at what then was called the Reebok Stadium
in what is now the Championship:
Phil Whitehead; Les Robinson, Brian Wilsterman, Phil Gilchrist, Simon Marsh;
Christophe Remy, Martin Gray, David Smith, Matt Murphy;
Andy Thomson and Dean Windass.
Att: 17,064
Scorer: Equaliser from Andy Thomson, left footed volley from
inside the penalty area from a Christophe Remy right wing cross.Danish midfielder
Per Frandsen gave the Trotters the lead.
Head to head: The teams have only met 21 times and Oxford have 6 wins
to Bolton's eight with seven draws. You have to go back more than 32 years
for United's last victory over the Trotters - Easter Saturday 1984 when Jim Smith's
Oxford defeated their opponents from Greater Manchester 5-0 in front
of 9,788 at the Manor Ground.
Bolton have some talented strikers, Zach Clough, Crystal Palace
loanee Keshi Anderson, Jamie Proctor, Max Clayton and Gary Madine.
Saturday's referee is Mark Haywood from West Yorkshire
who last reffed the U's at Cambridge last Easter Monday.
Played for both: Jim Phillips who signed for United in August 1988
