On this date August 12th 1997 the Reds won their first Premiership game , beating Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park , thanks to a superb strike by Captain Neil Redfearn ,
I remember that was the August '98 bank holiday Monday game, and Oxford were managed by Mal Shotton and they were one of the dirtiest teams Ive ever seen at Oakwell. He/Shotton really disappointed me by having them fired up in such a way that day, obviously trying to make an impression on his former team.
