Oxford United & Southend in Tunisia 1975 help if possible

[aldo1996]

Hi

I am a collector of Oxford United programme's, I've posted on here before about a programme which I now have in my collection. I am now however looking for the following programme in May 1975 Oxford United, Southend United, Gillingham and Peterborough United travelled to Tunisia to play in the Sahara Beach Soccer Tournament. I've attached a screenshot (hopefully) of the cover of what was issued for the tournament.

If anyone has a copy that they are willing to sell or if anyone knows of anyone who has a copy I'd be very interested in being put into contact with them.

Many Thanks

Richard

Blimey, I normally remember stuff like that, but can't remember it. Who won? I know we went on that Scotland tour in July 1975, 2 matches, Lol.

As far as I'm aware only 3 games were played

Oxford beat Gillingham 4 - 2
Peterborough beat Southend not sure of score
Peterborough beat Oxford 3 - 1 in the final

I only found one reference to this online and that was from Charlton. We didnt play Peterborough in a friendly in that season. Very odd.

As it was a beach tournament, perhaps it doesn't count as an official friendly or game.

Southend v Peterborough and Oxford v Gillingham played on Friday 9th May 1975

The final between Oxford and Peterborough was played on Monday 12th May.

Bournemouth, Charlton, S##ndon and Millwall also played in Tunisia later on in May.

It doesn't appear in Oxford's records other than a Tunisia Tour and no opponents.

According to Charlton fans, it was Charlton 2 Millwall 2 in the final of that later tournament, with Millwall winning 4-3 on penalties.

Apropros of nothing in particular, the first penalty kick in the first ever penalty shootout in an English professional match was taken by George Best. Denis Law was the first to miss and that miss was the first ever save and made by Ian McKechnie !
