Oxford away brings back memories of Kinkladze and his twinkle toes totally mesmerising the Oxford players and scoring two great goals.

Also I remember being an early leaver back in 89 (it did happen back then but I was only kid) and we scored two late goals to win the match 2-1. Think one goal came off Steve Redmonds thigh.

Kinky scored two that day, great day out.

Kinky was magnificent that day.

Very enjoyable; especially as I didn't have far to go home. Had a seat in the tiny stand by the away support and presume I used my wife's parking pass for the JR Hospital nearby as that was where she worked at the time.

There's a private hospital on the site now, cunningly called the Manor, where I had key surgery on my knee as I am sure you are all thrilled to know.

1984/5 season they beat us 3-0 at their place and the following season at Maine Rd by the same score.

Yup. I had the pleasure of being at both those games.

Yes, fantastic. Would love a full video of that game as it was one of Kinkys finest performances.

There was a great moment where the commentator simply says ‘kinkladze surrounded by 3 defenders bye bye’ as he leaves them tackling thin air. Always remember that.

Yes me too. Still the most breathtaking player I have seen play for us in the sense of excitement generated when he picked up the ball and started running at defenders. Would love to watch him in his pomp one last time.

Thinking this game could be played on Wednesday 18th seeing we play Arsenal on Sunday 15th?

Tuesday - two days after Arsenal and four before the rags, or Wednesday - three days/three days?

Remember going to the Manor Ground one season and being so proud of how many City fans were there.....we were shit at the time.
