Биография

Formation

Oxford United Football Club, originally founded as Headington Football Club on 27 October 1893, emerged from a meeting at the Britannia Inn in Headington, called by local doctor Robert Hitchings. The club was established to help cricketers maintain their fitness during the winter months. The Revd John Scott-Tucker, vicar at St. Andrew's Church, became the first president of the club. In 1911, the club adopted the name Headington United following a merger with Headington Quarry, marking a significant step in its early history.

Early Years and Development

The club's first match was against Cowley Barracks, and it struggled to find a permanent home until 1925 when it purchased the Manor Ground on London Road. This venue served dual purposes, hosting cricket in the summer and football in the winter. Headington United joined the Oxfordshire District League Second Division in 1899 and later became part of the Oxon Senior League in 1921, where they achieved a remarkable 9–0 victory in their inaugural season, a record for the club.

Name Change and Modern Era

In 1960, the club rebranded as Oxford United, reflecting its growth and ambition. The club has since competed in various leagues, including the EFL Championship, EFL League One, and EFL League Two. After experiencing relegation from the EFL Championship in the 2025–26 season, Oxford United continues to strive for success in the EFL League One, playing its home games at the Kassam Stadium since 2001, after leaving the Manor Ground.

History

1893–1960: Headington F.C. to Headington United

Oxford United was founded on 27 October 1893 as Headington Football Club at the Britannia Inn, Headington in a meeting called by a local doctor, Robert Hitchings, as a way for the cricketers of Headington Cricket Club to maintain their fitness during the winter break. The fellow founder was the Revd John Scott-Tucker, vicar at St. Andrew's Church, who was appointed first president of the club. The suffix United was added in 1911 after merging with Headington Quarry. The club's first football match played was against Cowley Barracks. Headington had no regular home until 1913, when they were able to purchase Wootten's Field on London Road, but this was redeveloped in 1920, forcing the club to move. A permanent home was found in 1925, when they purchased the Manor Ground site on London Road. The facility was used as a cricket pitch in the summer, and a football pitch in the winter. In 1899, six years after their formation, Headington United joined the Oxfordshire District League Second Division, where they competed until the outbreak of the First World War; the Second Division was renamed the Oxfordshire Junior League after the resumption of football in 1919. In 1921, the club was admitted into the Oxon Senior League. The first season included a 9–0 victory, with eight of those goals coming from P. Drewitt. This remains a record for the highest number of goals scored by an Oxford player in a first-team match. At this time…
