We were the beneficiaries when the Headington Name changers beat us 3-2 in the FA Cup in front of 9000 in 1951. They fielded an ineligible player and we were awarded the tie.
We then met the Duck botherers in the next rnd in front of 9000 at Loakes Park to lose 2-1.
Huge crowds for 2nd and 3rd qualifying rounds.

Good luck Kelly. A great shift from a loyal club servant.
I'm still trying to imagine an illegible player.
Sorry ineligible, circa Jock Mackenzie in the 70's.
Ultimately cost us another B&B Cup win.

I can only think of the imaginary players inserted in tiny print into Derby's books to enable them to depreciate even more.
