Oxford United legend meets U’s supporters at over 50s event

More than 100 people attended the Manor Club event, organised by the club’s charity, Oxford United in the Community, at Cowley Workers Social Club on September 4.

The monthly event, now in its seventh year, aims to provide a social space for older supporters to connect.

Spaces sold out days in advance for the event which included a lunch buffet and a question and answer session between Mr Shotton and Peter Rhoades-Brown.

The pair looked back on United’s 1986 Milk Cup triumph and Mr Shotton’s seven seasons as a player with the club.

Mr Shotton said: “To see so many familiar faces after such a long time away from the club was a great way to spend a Wednesday afternoon.

“For older supporters, the Manor Club is a great way of connecting with like-minded people and meeting players, coaches and managers past and present in a welcoming environment.

“Lifting the Milk Cup was the highlight of my career. And although we’re going back a few years to that day, people have fantastic memories and I enjoyed hearing people’s stories from the day.”

Tickets for Oxford United in the Community’s October Manor Club on Wednesday, October 2, are priced £7 and can be purchased online, in-person at the ticket office or over the phone.
