We had to ask the former #oufc boss about this match at #SAFC in 2021👇

Karl told us what went down in the tunnel at half-time, in what became known as ‘headbutt-gate’…

Goals from James Constable and Ryan Williams secured a 2-1 win for #oufc on their last visit to Wrexham, an FA Cup 2nd round tie in December 2013 in front of 2,906 fans.

United finished 8th in League Two that season, with Wrexham 17th in the National League. How far both clubs have come since then…

Congrats to @martinezra.bsky.social, @bigdwoolly.bsky.social & @wiggytoo.com, who between them guessed the two correct answers - which are…

Will Vaulks and Michal Helik!

Vaulks played for Wales in a friendly in October 2020 & Helik started for Poland in a World Cup qualifier in March 2021.

A quiz question for you...🤔

With Mark Harris hoping to feature in Wales' friendly with England tonight, which TWO other members of the #oufc squad have played against England at Wembley?

Share your answers in the comments...no cheating👇

Vinny Jones & Neil Ruddock played for QPR. Jamie Cook & Paul Powell were superb & got selected for England u21’s on the back of it

After last night’s stalemate, #oufc have now failed to score on their past 4 visits to QPR.

Steve Davis (not that one) was the last player to score for the club at Loftus Road with this effort in a 1-1 draw in April 1998!

United are also on a 13-game winless run at QPR, stretching back to 1969 😬

Yesterday was the first time #oufc have won a second-tier away game by 2+ goals since beating Norwich 3-1 in November 1998 - a time when the club’s very existence was in doubt.

Brian Wilsterman, Dean Windass and Andy Thomson the scorers that day ⚽️

I still regret his glaring miss in the cup final. I really wanted him to score that day

John Aldridge turns 67 today 🎂

Here are some of the incredible stats from his time at #oufc 👇

⚽️ 90 goals in 141 games (most prolific player in the club's history)
⚽️ 34 goals in all comps in 1984-85 Division Two title-winning season (club record for an EFL campaign)

(1/2)
