I was watching BBC Breakfast here in Tenerife today and they interviewed the Chief Executive of Digital Radio UK - Ford Ennals. This has to be the City full back from my early days (mid 70's). I believe he was at Oxford University and his Dad was Labour MP David Ennals. Ford didn't play many senior games in the old penquin kit but I remember the name. Ask some of the older committee members if they remember him?

I'm sure you're right Colin. Ford Ennals, son of Sir David Ennals, went to Gosford Hill and then O.U.
Didn't get a Blue, played some games for Ox. Utd. Res.
Debut for OCFC v Kingstonian (19/12/72), final game v Hampton (28/08/76) - 17 matches in all.
Since then been at very senior levels at Mars, Reebok, Lloyds TSB and BA - now at Digital Radio UK. Apparently (allegedly?) they pay more than Oxford City!!
