The goal scored by Joey Beauchamp against Blackpool is fondly remembered by Oxford United fans
JOEY Beauchamp gave Oxford United fans countless memorable moments during his illustrious career, but one stands out more than most.
With the U’s hunting down Blackpool in the 1995/96 Division Two promotion race, the two sides met at the Manor Ground during the run-in.
The teams were locked at 0-0 when the ball dropped out of the sky to Beauchamp 35 yards from goal.
The winger took a touch before sending a looping volley into the top corner in front of an ecstatic London Road end.
It earned United a priceless 1-0 win, and continued their charge towards promotion.
The goal is widely regarded as the best goal scored at The Manor by U’s fans, and you can watch it here.
