ARSENAL were handed a 3-0 beating by Oxford United at the iconic Manor Ground in 1986.

The two clubs feel worlds away now, but in those days the Gunners had to make the trip to the Manor Ground for Division One matches.

Oxford had recruited Tottenham legend Steve Perryman to assist in their survival bid during the 1985-86 season.

Having made a record 866 appearances for Spurs, Perryman added the experience and know-how to help Oxford far exceed their goals for the season.
