Behind The Badge is back! Ahead of a new series packed with incredible guests, Dan and James are joined by Scott Walkinshaw - aka Oxblogger - as we reveal the six former players you'll hear from in the coming weeks.

We also speak to Scott about his brilliant new book, 'The Glory Years: The Rise of Oxford United in the 1980s', which looks back at what can only be described as the best time to be a U's supporter.

Available in all good book shops and of course online, 'The Glory Years' has so many stories, so many good times, and so many trophies. Click here to find out more: https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/glory-years

It’s been a dramatic week at United so Dan and James chew the cud over Des Buckingham’s departure and what to expect from new manager Gary Rowett.

Des will always be remembered fondly by us fans for leading us to promotion as a hometown boy and also for the exemplary way that he conducted himself on and off the pitch.

One of us, he will always be a Yellow.

With the third international break of the season upon us we spoke to Dave Pritchard, formerly the Oxford Mail's chief football writer.

In his eight-and-a-half years at the Mail, Dave saw United mature from a mid-table League Two team under Chris Wilder to promotion winners under Michael Appleton and League One play-off chasers under Karl Robinson.

In that time he followed the rise of a certain Des Buckingham, who this week celebrates a fairy-tale first year in charge of United. Dave also shares his memories of the late George Baldock, a player he got to know while covering the club and one who left his mark on every United fan during his two loan spells here.

Last but not least, there is the usual chat about life in the Championship as United gear up for a busy winter!
