The Glory Years chronicles Oxford Uniteds rise from bankruptcy to Milk Cup Final glory through the 1980s. It''s a story of giant-killings and back-to-back titles, surviving mergers, hooliganism and the threat of a new Super League. It''s a saga that''s never been properly explored until now.
In 1982, Oxford United faced bankruptcy and relegation from the Third Division when club secretary Jim Hunt made a desperate phone call to the clubs neighbor, notorious publishing magnate Robert Maxwell. Maxwell rescued the club and put it on a thrilling journey towards the First Division under manager Jim Smith.
With back-to-back championships, Oxford defeated Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester United and Arsenal in pulsating Milk Cup clashes at their magical stadium, The Manor. Under Maurice Evans, they survived three seasons in the top flight, winning the richest team prize in sport, the Milk Cup at Wembley in 1986.
The book charts Oxfords incredible journey from Ian Greaves'' arrival in 1980 to relegation in 1988.
