Oxford played a pre-season friendly at Greenock Morton on Saturday (we won 3-0).Two hundred fans travelled,one on a Vespa !!! However,in the 1960's I remember...
Hi there, good to hear from you. Palace built their 1968/69 promotion team around two players from Morton that Bert Head picked up, I think they got into...
You are right Bob, both Bartram & Thorup joined Palace from Morton. In answer to Oxon's post I was originally going to say it was their away kit but on...
I know Bartram played a few games up front for Palace and scored one or two goals, but did Borge Thorup (christened Throw-up by the fans)? I had the...
Thorup wasn't all that but he did suffer from injuries including a cartilage operation,i went to visit him in hospital (Mayday i think) don't remember that...
Hi Bill, good to hear from you again. At the time Thorup and Bartram were signed, the League was virtually a British Isles redoubt, mumbles were made about...
Ben Arentoft played for Newcastle.The best player at Palace (of the defenders) was Kaj Johansen who played many games for Glasgow Rangers.For some reason he...
Fortunately I am not going bonkers and the archive King at OUFC confirms that Oxford DID play Morton in 1968 and provided the scores/result and gate...very...
Thorup only made one appearance for Palace as a sub. From memory Bartram's goal against Arsenal was his only goal for Palace, might be wrong will have to check...
Forgive me if I posted this a long time ago.We went to a night game (Oxford)at Palace and David Sloan (NI International) equalised for us in the 95th minute !!...
How could I have forgotten Gerry, that will teach me to post replies when the boss is waiting to go to the garden centre ! Gerry Queen was probably Bert Head's...
Funily enough when stumbling out of bed this morning at 6 am I nearly triped up over the programme Bill kindly sent to me of the Arthur Rowe Commemorative...
Gerry Queen was a gentleman,a very nice man indeed.I remember him on a couple of train journeys to away games in the reserves when he would sit with us and try...
Do you mean the first team or the reserves Bill? Or both? 1969/70 we finished 20th, just safe. 1970/71 I think we were struggling but safe. 1971/2 ditto. ...
He played in a couple of reserve games that's what i was thinking of.The only time i got picked in the first team squad (of 14) was away at Arsenal.A 1 - 1...
Looking back to the first message on this thread, what about Charlie Cook? Wasn't he a Bert Head signing was that Big Mal? Cook was definitely past it by...
Went to see Oxford v QPR last night,was 2-2,both sides had full squads,very entertaining.Old player Jim Magilton brought them. Took me back to the last game at...
Good joke on the One show last night,(which has successfully broken my habit of Emmerdale, I don't miss it at all now). Mind you that Northern Irish bird...
An enjoyable evening Mervyn. I was surprised at how good the stadium is. Any plans to build a stand at the open end where the car park is now? I was also at...
No plans,lovely friendly atmosphere between the fans.As Kassam still owns the stadium and the hotel outside/multiplex cinema/10 pin centre etc.,until we own it...
Does anyone ever question their own sanity at this time of year? My first pre-season experience this year was driving 50 miles through the rain to Spennymoor...
... Hi Mark A Well known auction site often comes up with several games from this halcyon period, prices vary, depending on your income and level of...
Hi George, Thanks for your reply. I must confess to spending far too much time wallowing in nostalgia on the ITV Football 68-83 site, but I've never managed to...
... When I think of what I paid for a season ticket to watch League One football, then yes, I do question my sanity this time of year. Leeds United home...
They are currently showing The Big Match Revisited on Men & Motors Channel.A couple of Leeds game have been on already including a heavy home defeat by...
I met an Orient fan over the weekend, he bored us all by going on about a friendly that they had just won against Newcastle, 6-1! He did say at least a couple...
Sometime in the late 1960's I saw a Palace pre-season friendly against a Scottish team, anyone know who it was? and no it wasn't Morton...I think. Bob...
Bob, Palace played Aberdeen in May 1966 and St Mirren in August 1970 as well as the Morton game in August 1969. Could it have been either of those? Mark...
