Oxford United remembers with great affection former Club Physio John Clinkard, who sadly passed away.
John joined the Club from Everton in 1988 and went on to serve Oxford United with distinction for 12 seasons, playing a vital role during a memorable era. He worked under Denis Smith and Malcolm Crosby, alongside countless players and members of staff. A brilliant physio and an even better character, John was a natural storyteller who brought warmth, humour and humanity to the dressing room. He built lasting relationships throughout the Club, none stronger than with the squad that achieved promotion in 1996.
He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
Rest in peace, John.
