Only the fourth six!
10:17pm Monday 18th August 2008
Oxford United's 6-3 win over Eastbourne Borough was only the fourth time in the last 40 years that they have scored six times in a league match.
The others were 6-3 v Walsall in 1983-4, 6-0 v Shrewsbury in 1995-6 and 6-1 v Halifax in 2001-2.
United's biggest win in the Football League was 7-0 v Barrow in 1964, while their biggest win since turning professional in 1949 was 9-0 v Wisbech Town in 1960.
Saturday also featured the most goals scored in a league game since Oxford United's 5-5 draw with Portsmouth at the Manor Ground in 1992.

This was a non-league fixture, meaning OUFC have only hit 6 goals in one LEAGUE match on 3 occasions.
And I thought the Oxford Mail's sister paper was bad.
