Struggling to think of any positive memories of him. He was very laboured. Mind you it was an awful season He was shite but my one positive memory was a funny ironic one. We played away at Macclesfield towards the end of what was a shit season and we won 2-0 with Oldfield scoring a stunning long ranger. I remember the away end being stunned and actually laughing at the unexpectedness of it, bit like Jordan Cousins lashing in a 25 yarder now. Then we started ironically singing 'super David Oldfield' but pronouncing David in the fancy French way that David Ginola's name was always pronounced. Was quite a funny interlude in a very depressing season. You know you're having a shit season when you start sarcastically taking the piss when your own team scores a 25 yarder.

That was a pretty grim team. He was a good striker in his day, but by the time he came here, his legs had gone & he played mostly in midfield. We’ve had plenty like that down the years...

Who was that midfielder we signed from Notts County that same season we signed Oldfield, I can picture his face, but can't think of his name??? 🤔 Phil Robinson? Am I thinking correctly? but did we also sign Dave kevan from notts county in a double deal with someone whose name I can't remember.

I remember Radio Stoke saying we were on the brink of signing an Australian midfielder. The more optimistic amongst us thought we'd made Danny Tiatto's loan deal permanent, instead it ended up being Oldfield.
Little was very hit and miss when it came to signing players from his old clubs. Small, Collins, Oldfield, Petty... Mohan and Ward were probably the best of the bunch, especially in Gudjon's first season.
