    Approached us on Wembley way before the match. He had exchanged scarves with a Barnsley fan 30 years ago and decided it was a great opportunity to hand it back to another Barnsley fan.

    My son was the lucky recipient and I'm sure will treasure it and perhaps do the same in another 30 years

    Great story. This is what football is about.

    Certainly is. Made my lads day, it's what separates the small non fashionable clubs like us and Oxford with the big boys.
    No animosity yesterday, great banter, great match and even better result

    The Oxford fans were amazing. I can't remember a friendlier bunch. Sat drinking coffee with them at McDs before and after the game.
