Vinny Jones & Neil Ruddock played for QPR. Jamie Cook & Paul Powell were superb & got selected for England u21’s on the back of it

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 ⚽️

Arguably the only thing missing from his #oufc career!

I still regret his glaring miss in the cup final. I really wanted him to score 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.
