OXFORD United season ticket holder Colin Costar said being this week’s Oxford Mail Face in the Crowd winner was the “icing on the cake”.

The 54-year-old builder was picked out by our photographer during Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Burton Albion at the Kassam Stadium.

Mr Costar, of Nye Bevan Close, in East Oxford, said he would put his £75 prize towards his season ticket for next season.

The win left United just three points off a play-off place in nPower League 2.

He said: “I knew I had been picked, because I got so many phone calls from friends.

“I’m chuffed with the money. I have two weeks left to get my season ticket at the renewal price, so this has come at a great time.

“It was a good win on Sunday and the money was the icing on the cake.

“We can definitely make the play-offs this year. I had £50 on Oxford winning the league, which isn’t going to happen, but I would take promotion any day.”
