Pick your York XI
As we shall presumably not be putting out a full team at York, who would you like to see turning out for the Yellows on a one-off basis? Any past or present players - or, indeed, historical figures associated with Oxfordshire - may be included (e.g. Latimer, Ridley and Cranmer in the three centre back positions).

Re:
Stick him up front with his Mum - soon see how difficult playing football is then. Reminds me of the time when West Ham were playing Oxford City in a friendly and a gobby Hammers fan from MK (hope he's still following WHU FC and not franchise) was thrown a pair of boots & told to get on and do better. Apparently he had a reasonable second half."Matt D" wrote:there's a guy who sits not far from me in the east stand who i gather would like to see his mum given a run out rather than duffy...

I think Richard I and his brother John would make a very effective good-cop, bad-cop centre half pairing and both would be loved by the Oxford fans as they were both born in Beaumont Palace (although John better watch out if the team coach stops for a break in Sherwood Forest). Sweeping up and fighting them on the landing fields would be Churchill. Roger Bannister would run the centre of midfield and John Otway would play centre forward, hoping to score with one of his 'headbutts'.

Tolkien on the right wing for me. Lewis Carrol as youth team manager.
