The former #oufc full-back roomed with Mickey Lewis during his playing career, so he wasn’t short of stories about Mad Dog!

Joe Skarz joins us this week!

With three games of the 2015-16 season remaining, #oufc had a depleted squad and their promotion push was faltering.

Joe had been ruled out for the rest of the season with a groin injury, but he stepped up to play a vital role 🫡

ICYMI: Make sure you listen to our interview with Karl Robinson!

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…

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 ⚽️

Probably the most notable #oufc win against Brighton was a 3-0 FA Cup 4th round upset in January 1982 🏆

Peter Foley (2) and Keith Cassells scored as Ian Greaves’ third-tier side stunned the Seagulls, then of Division One 😮

Peter reflected on that day when he joined us on the pod this year 👇

The previous time #oufc were in League Cup action #OnThisDay was in 2014, when they caused a first-round upset at Bristol City.

Carlton Morris and Danny Hylton scored in a 2-1 comeback win, giving Michael Appleton his first victory as United boss.

The #oufc players and staff are en route to Indonesia ✈️

Something tells us that this trip may be a little different to the infamous pre-season tour to Boston in 2011 👀🍻

Michael Duberry had just signed for the club - he shared his memories when he joined us on the pod 👇
