Oxford v Leeds United 1990

This video MAY need to be embedded by a superior techno to myself, but you gotta watch out for the flying Leeds fan at 1 min 5 secs after Fairclough scores. Quality!




I do miss the old Manor Ground as an away venue...

I was there that day and 20+ years later saw the flying Leeds fan for the first time, there was no Internet back in the good old days. The Manor Ground was like many other grounds that have been replaced a proper ground that alas have been replaced with grounds that look like they have come from Ikea, flat pack stadia at its worst. Think I've said on here I was on the train a few months ago and I passed Darlingtons ground that quiet simply was a smaller version of Derby's Pride Park.

Yes I miss grounds such as Highbury, Maine Road, Highfield Road and Springfield Park proper football grounds. We talk on here about how far we had gone when we were a League 1 side but some of the grounds I visited took me back 40 years. The likes of Waddon Road, Kenilworth Road, Gresty Road and Brisbane Road did not have all the modern facilities but they had a certain charm the the aforementioned grounds will never have.

Mind I remember a League Cup game at Fratton Park in 2007 and the facilities there were what I'd have expected at a League 1 ground and not a Premiership side. I mobile catering unit for around 3000 visiting Leeds fans. Also sorry to harp on but I'll never forget that night we were escorted to the ground by Old Bill riding push bikes
