Oxford United - Past Encounters

Remember beating them 1 0 at home very late goal, then 3 red cards including one Lee Thorpe who'd scored the winner, early 00s.
 
I remember a 2-2 in a blizzard which made it very hard to see what was happening on the pitch at times, which was hampered even more by the fence at the Railway End, '84ish if memory serves. The Imps were 2-0 up and pegged back by a very good Oxford side and in the end they were unlucky not to win.
As cold as I've ever been watching football- absolutely freezing sleet, snow and wind and, I think, 2-0 up at half time. I remember Cockerill wearing gloves and thinking that was a bit girlish (it was the 1980s- that's how we thought!)
