Tributes have been paid to former Swindon Town player Joey Beauchamp who's died aged 50.
He joined the Robins from West Ham in 1994 - he'd been signed by the Hammers for £1m but didn't play a game for them as he didn't like the traffic from Oxford, as well as suffering from homesickness.
He was signed by Swindon Town for a combined record fee of £850,000, which also saw defender Adrian Whitbread join West Ham.
But it's his association at Oxford United for which he remains best known, becoming one of the club's all-time scorers.
