Oxford United's story is one of the most remarkable in recent football history.
Founded as Headington United in 1893,they
spent over 50 years as an amateur club before turning professional and joining the Southern League.In 1960 they became Oxford United and two years later were elected to the Football League.Building steadily on that base,they progressed until,in 1985,they finally achieved First
Division status.The following year came the realization of the dream - Wembley winners of the Milk Cup.And although the fortunes of the club have dipped since that glorious day,Oxford United are still
a major part of football's history.Now, two long-time supporters,brothers Andy and Roger Howland,have produced the ultimate record of their club.Hours of painstaking research have been rewarded with the definitive history of Oxford United.This book charts every Southern League game played by United to the end of 1988-89 - results, scorers and line-ups - as well as their Cup games.There are also statistics right back to the club's first season and a history of the club and its ground,as well as illustrated biographies of every Oxford United player since they joined the league.Oxford may be one of the Football League's newest clubs,but their story is as compelling as any and 'Oxford United: A Complete Record 1893-1989' is a worthy addition to Breedon Books' highly acclaimed series.A scarce,collectable copy - subscribers list only goes up to No 400, the first 4 copies being presentation copies to the football club,the Football League, the Football Association and K F T Maxwell.
