I always remember playing Wimbledon in midweek in the 80s. It was foggy as hell and we couldn't see a damn thing nor could the Wimbledon fans. The London Road we're giving it '3-0, 3-0, 4-0, 4-0, 5-0, 5-0, 6-0'. Funniest moment ever.

Chicken George and Dave Langan going down that slope was pretty good.

So many memories Denis Smith wearing the horned hat when we won 4-0 against Peterborough to go up. Great own goal to open the scoring Beating Leeds 5-2 and seeing Lorimer sent off. Aldridge could have joined him another day. Winning 9-1 against Dorchester and seeing the unpopular Steve Wood get two. Many epic cup games especially beating Manchester United. Seeing Alan Judge save two penalties in the first half against Manure Beating Swindon 5-3 after going down to a first minute goal Losing 5-2 twice at home, when Luton and Wimbledon turned us over...what became of them? Beating Sheffield United 3-0 at home on new years day when we were bottom and they were top. winning 5-1 against Sunderland after being a goal down at the interval. beating Blackpool 3-2 after Rush was denied a goal but was given offside So many more keep going

Joeys 30 yarder against Blackpool in '96 and then getting caught behind one of the stanchions in the London Road in the melee that followed.

How about when he scored two against Millwall and missed the chance of a hat trick in our 3-0 win. He emerged with a torn shirt and the player who did it stayed on the pitch. I think that they did go down to 10 later though

So many great memories......... The 5-5 against Pompey Nappy Beating Barnsley at home 4-0
Aldridges' hat-trick and a Neil Slatter goal in the 4-3 defeat of IpswichMike Read stitching us up Watching John Lukic take a goal kick which went into the Osler Road about 20 yards from his penalty box Just stole my thunder with those two! Meeting Lenny Bennett in the old supportes club Beating Everton 2 - 0 and Lineker missing a couple of sitters. Rambo and Shotton at the back Happy days

Some of my favourite memories of Gary Briggs were the times an opposing striker would go down in the middle of the park and by the time the referee looked round Briggsy was half a mile away at the other end of the pitch looking the picture of innocence.

Pre - segregation. Watching the first half from Cuckoo Lane (we usually played up hill first half), wandering throught the Osler Road stand at half time and watching the second half from the London Road end. Post-segregation - Being able to walk round to the Osler Rd at half time to hurl abuse at visiting Northern Monkeys and get called Cock-er-knees.

The Beautiful girls selling the food, Stunners everyone of them. The London Rd roof showering you with rust everytime the ball hit it (Which was quite alot with some of the donkeys we had playing up front over the years). The old bill and stewards searching you even if you were about 8. Most of all the atmosphere at big night games, for a small ground it could be electric.

Les Phillips goal against Everton - the best buzz I've ever had at any football match. The miserable family that worked behind the bar in the supporters club. Waiting for my arms to snap as I braced myself against the barriers with everyone else behind me pushing forward when we scored. A tiny little mascot getting hit on the back of the head with a ball and getting bowled over, as he ran off the pitch - makes me laugh now just thinking about it. ;D Watching George Best in a charity match and shaking my head in disbelief when he went round a defender with the ball apparantly glued to his feet - never seen skill like it since. Chicken George getting a piggy-back from one of the oppositions players. Walking up the London Road at night and seeing those floodlights all lit up.

Going to reserve games in the evening and lsitening to all the banter between players. Parking up in the Brit on Saturdays, having several beers then getting fish & chips from Smarts before buying the half time draw tickets. Standing by the gate at the London Road/Osler Road corner with my mother, son and daughter.

Nice to find someone else who liked her! I think some of the players used to get injured deliberately so sh'd have to run on, and just as she got to them, they's get up and walk it off.

Beating Swindon 3-0, Joey scoring then giving it to their supporters at the Cuckoo Lane End ;D
The supporters club
Ian Bennett using his gloves to good effect on the young lady who responded to the "Get your t**s out for the lads" chant. (Was that a pre-season friendly or an actual competitive game? If someone could put me straight, thanks)
The celebrations of our promotion after beating Peterborough 4-0

If someone could put me straight, thanks) I don't know how to put you straight - you'd probably need a psychoanalyst for that - but the game in question was a pre-season friendly. (And Bennett was welcome to her!)

.. Thanks.. All this has rekindled some very special memories -and i'm feeling all nostagic! Agree with all the sentiments expressed, for all its faults 'The Manor' had at times a unique atmosphere and i feel sad for those among us who never got to experience one of the many special occassions such as those mentioned. Question: Looking at all the cars in the k***am car parks and Grenoble road etc etc - How the Ell did we all manage to cope in Headington?!! Too many memories of matches to single any out, but just thinking of walking the length of Lime walk towards the LR on a night match -the lure of the Floodlights and the ever increasing volume of the chanting and singing made you walk faster and faster sending the pulse rate up a few knotts and the hairs standing up on the back of your neck!! ;D UTM.

Beating Swindon 5-3 after going down to a first minute goal
Dont remember that one,remember us beating them 5-1 on a wednesday night, and losing 5-2 after being 2-0 up after 4 minutes and Mark Stein missing a sitter on 6 minutes which would have made it 3-0.
