Launched in 2017 by Oxford United in the Community, the Manor Club for Over-50s brings together senior Oxford United supporters to spend an afternoon in the company of a guest speaker.

The social initiative is about to enter its tenth season of delivery and aims to reduce the risk of older U’s fans developing feelings of loneliness and isolation by creating new connections with like-minded people.

Chris Lowes, COO at Oxford United in the Community, said: “We’re really excited to begin a new season of Manor Club delivery with Martin Keown as the first guest.
