History

Headington United

Oxford United was formed as amateur club Headington in 1893,[1] adding the suffix United the following year. The team was created by Rev John Scott-Tucker, the vicar at the local church and a local doctor named Robert Hitchings.[3] The team was created as a way to keep the cricketers fit during the winter break. The first game played was against Cowley Barracks. The club had no permanent home until 1913, when the club was able to purchase Wootten's Field on London Road, but this was developed on in 1920.[3] The club finally found a permanent home in 1926, when they purchased the Manor Ground site.[3] The facility was used as a cricket pitch in the summer, and a football pitch in the winter, until the cricketers moved out during the 1940's. Headington United competed in local leagues until being elected to the Southern League and becoming professional in 1949.[1] From 1925 to 2001 Headington United / Oxford United played at the Manor Ground on the London Road in Headington. The club installed floodlights in 1952, one of the first clubs to do so.[4] Headington United first started wearing yellow as the colour for their home shirt in the 1957–58 season.[5] The reason for the change is unknown. In 1960, Headington United was renamed Oxford United in order to give it a higher profile.[1] Non-league football refers to football in England played at a level below that of the FA Premier League and The Football League. ...

Promotion and Robert Maxwell takeover

Two years later, in 1962, the club won the Southern League title for the second successive season and was elected to the Football League Fourth Division,[6] occupying the vacant place left by bankrupt Accrington Stanley. Two successive 18th place finishes followed,[7][8] before promotion to the Third Division was achieved in 1965.[9] In 1964, they had become the first Fourth Division club to reach the quarter-final of the FA Cup, but have not progressed that far in the competition since then. Oxford won the Third Division title in 1967–68,[10] their sixth season as a league club, but after eight years of relative stability the club was relegated from the Second Division in 1975–76.[11] For other uses, see Southern Football League (disambiguation). ...

In 1982, while a Third Division side, Oxford United was taken over by controversial business tycoon Robert Maxwell (1923–1991).[12] Maxwell proposed to merge United with neighbours Reading to form a single club called the Thames Valley Royals,[13] to play at Didcot.

Oxford won the Third Division title in 1984 under the management of Jim Smith,[14] who also guided them to the Second Division title the following year.[15] This meant that Oxford United would be playing First Division football in the 1985–86 season, 23 years after joining the Football League. Smith moved to Queens Park Rangers shortly after the promotion success, and made way for chief scout Maurice Evans, who several seasons earlier had won the Fourth Division title with Reading.[14] Jim Smith, left, with Harry Redknapp Jim Smith (born October 17, 1940) is a former English football (soccer) player and is now working as a coach. ...

Oxford at the top

Oxford United finished 18th in the 1985–86 First Division campaign,[16] avoiding relegation on the last day of the season, but most impressively winning the Milk Cup with a 3–0 win over Queens Park Rangers at Wembley. They would have qualified for the UEFA Cup the following season had it not been for the ban on English teams that had arisen from the previous year's Heysel Stadium disaster.[17] It was an excellent way for Oxford to begin life as a top-division side, although they never really competed with the best. 1986–87 saw another relegation battle which was narrowly won. Robert Maxwell resigned as chairman in May 1987 to take over at Derby, handing the club to his son Kevin. Maurice Evans was sacked in March 1988 with Oxford bottom of the First Division and destined for relegation after three years in the top flight.

Oxford started their 1986 League Cup campaign with a 2nd-round tie against Northampton Town. The home leg was won 2–0 by Oxford, with the return leg also being won by Oxford, this time with a 2–1 scoreline.[18] Their reward was a 3rd-round tie at home to Newcastle United. The result of the single leg was 3–1 to Oxford. The next two rounds were both held at the Manor Ground, against Norwich City and Portsmouth respectively. Both ties finished with Oxford running out 3–1 winners. The semi-final was played in January 1986 against Aston Villa, the aggregate score being Oxford 4–3 Aston Villa after a 2–1 home victory for Oxford in the second leg. The final was held at Wembley Stadium on 20 April 1986. The opponents were Queens Park Rangers, themselves reaching the final after beating a number of First-Division opponents. The final result was 3–0 with goals from Trevor Hebberd, Jeremy Charles and Ray Houghton. After the match, manager Maurice Evans famously asked long-serving physio, 72-year-old Ken Fish, to collect a winners medal instead of himself.[19] It was the last time the League Cup was played under the name 'Milk Cup'.

Life in the second tier

Before relegation was confirmed, former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson was named as Oxford's new manager. However, he was sacked three months into the 1988–89 Second Division campaign after a dispute with the chairman over the £1 million sale of striker Dean Saunders to Derby County[20]; Derby were owned by Robert Maxwell, father of the then Oxford United chairman, Kevin Maxwell. Brian Horton was named as Oxford's new manager, and remained in charge until September 1993 when he was lured away to Manchester City in the recently-formed FA Premier League. Oxford, now a side in the new Football League Division One, briefly restored Maurice Evans to the manager's seat before turning to Bristol City manager Denis Smith. By now, Oxford were deep in relegation trouble. Despite Smith's efforts, Oxford slid into Division Two at the end of the 1993–94 season.[21] Liverpool Football Club are an English professional football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, who play in the Premier League; they are historically the most successful club in the history of English football, having won more trophies than any other English club. ...

Oxford's poor form continued into the 1999–2000 season, forcing Shotton to resign in late October with the club deep in relegation trouble. However the team rallied and finished 20th in the Division Two final table, one place clear of relegation.[22] After the 2000–01 campaign, Oxford were relegated back to the basement division of the league after a 35-year absence, with 100 goals conceded.[23] They suffered 33 league defeats, the second-highest number of league defeats ever endured by a league club.


2001 to present

Oxford began the 2001–02 season with a new stadium and a new manager. They finally completed their relocation to the Kassam Stadium, named after new owner Firoz Kassam, after six years of speculation. Former Liverpool and England defender Mark Wright was given the manager's job, but resigned in late November after being accused of making racist remarks to referee Joe Ross.[24] Wright's successor Ian Atkins was unable to make much of a difference and Oxford finished the Division Three campaign in 21st place, their lowest-ever league position, although there was never any real threat of them losing their league status.[25] The interior of Kassum stadium. ...

Oxford did better in 2002–03, spending most of the season in either the automatic promotion or playoff places. But defeat in their final game of the season meant an eighth-place finish, not even enough for a playoff place.[26]


An excellent start to the 2003–04 season suggested that Oxford's three-year spell in Division Three might soon be over. But manager Ian Atkins was sacked in March after agreeing to take charge at rivals Bristol Rovers, and under his successor Graham Rix the club plummeted to ninth place in the final table. Rix was sacked the following November, with Oxford in the bottom half of Coca-Cola League Two. Oxford replaced him with the Argentine Ramón Díaz, who was unable to secure anything higher than a mid-table finish. Diaz and his team of assistants left the club at the beginning of May 2005 and ex-England midfielder and former West Bromwich Albion, Rushden and Oldham manager Brian Talbot was immediately signed on a two-year contract as replacement. Apart from a brief winning streak in September which saw United reach 8th in the table, Talbot found little success and was sacked in March 2006 with the club in 22nd place.

On 21 March 2006, Firoz Kassam sold the club for approximately £2 million (including the club's debts) to Florida-based businessman Nick Merry, who had played for United's youth team in the mid-1970s.

Smith was unable to prevent relegation in the 2005–06 season. After 44 successive years in English league football, Oxford were relegated to the National Conference from League Two in 23rd place,[27] becoming the first major cup winner to be relegated from the league. Jim Smith was retained as manager for 2006–07. The season started brightly for Oxford, with 14 wins and 8 draws from their opening 25 games. However, this was followed by a run of eleven league games without a win from November, which saw them drop into second place just after christmas, a position in which they remained until the end of the season. On Boxing Day 2006 a crowd of 11,065 watched United draw 0–0 with Woking at the Kassam Stadium, the largest-ever attendance for a Football Conference match (excluding playoffs). They qualified for the playoffs by coming second,[28] facing Exeter in the playoff semi-finals. After winning 1–0 in the first leg at Exeter, Oxford lost the second leg 2–1 and after extra time lost 4–3 on penalties, thus failing in their attempt to return to the Football League at the first attempt.

Financial crisis

In June 1995, Oxford United's board of directors had unveiled plans for a new 16,000-seat stadium at Minchery Farm to replace the dilapidated Manor Ground. The club had hoped to move into the new stadium near the Blackbird Leys housing estate by the start of the 1998–99 season, but construction was suspended during the 1997–98 season because of £13 million debts, which almost bankrupted the club. The Manor Ground was a football stadium in Oxford, England, that was the home of Oxford United (previously known as Headington United) between 1925 and 2001. ...

During October and November 1998 the backroom staff at the club went unpaid, due to United's financial situation, and supporters rallied round, delivering food parcels to the ground. Supporters set up a pressure group called Fighting for Oxford United's Life (FOUL),[30] which began to publicise the club's plight through a series of meetings and events. Chairman Robin Herd had effectively given up on the club, and in April 1999 Firoz Kassam bought Herd's 89.9% controlling interest in Oxford United for £1, with which he also inherited the club's estimated £15 million debt. Kassam reduced £9 million of the debt to £900,000 by virtue of a Company Voluntary Arrangement, by which unsecured creditors who were owed over £1,000 were reimbursed with 10p for every pound they were owed. Secured creditors were paid off when Kassam sold the Manor to another of his Firoka companies for £6,000,000. Kassam set about completing the unfinished stadium, gaining planning permission for a bowling alley, a multiplex cinema, and a hotel, among other things, following a series of legal battles which were eventually all settled.

Stadiums

Main articles: Manor Ground and Kassam Stadium

Oxford United (also as Headington United) played at the Manor Ground between 1925 and 2001. The ground hosted United's record crowd of 22,750 against Preston North End in an FA Cup 6th round match on 29 February 1964. The four stands were: Beech Road (west), London Road (home), Cuckoo Lane (north) and Osler Road (east). In the 1990s, the Taylor Report was published calling for the improvement of football stadiums. The Manor Ground's terracing was becoming redundant and redeveloping the ground was too costly, so the club decided to move to a purpose-built all-seater stadium on the outskirts of the city. Construction work began in the early part of 1997, but was suspended later that year due to the club's financial problems.
