The 34-year-old put the montage together as part of a challenge among his teammates.
“They were laughing about it, but a couple of hours later they said ‘it’s blowing up a bit’, so I made myself an account (on Twitter) and had a look,” he told BBC Radio Oxford.
“It’s just good fun, I’m glad everyone’s had a laugh with it.
“That’s the main thing, when at the minute it’s all serious out there.”
