Colin, a resident at Care UK’s Highmarket House in Banbury, has watched Oxford United in the stands for the first time in eight years.
The visit to the Kassam Stadium was arranged by care home staff after learning that Colin missed attending the club’s matches.
Highmarket House home manager Fran Cowley said the visit was intended to fulfil a wish shared by Colin and his wife, Sara.
Colin remained delighted throughout the trip and continued reflecting on the experience for the rest of the week.
Colin’s interest in Oxford United dates back to his childhood, and he regularly attended fixtures alongside Sara.
She said becoming an Oxford United supporter had allowed her to see much more of her husband, while the club and football remained central to their happy and caring marriage.
The outing was supported through Care UK’s Wishing Tree initiative, which asks residents to share their personal aspirations.
Before kick-off, Colin also joined a prize draw on the pitch and met several players as they emerged from the tunnel.
