Not at roots hall! But the John Eagan volley away at Scunthorpe was an absolute cracker!!
Andy Sussex V Luton? I think? we won 2-0 and confirmed our Championship status for another year. was the game when Stan was carried off the pitch by the fans. Sussex smashed a volley into the top corner from about 25 yards. Happy days..
Bristol City I think.I remember Ronnie Whelan scoring a beautifully placed free kick at the South Stand end - no idea who it was against, but I had a great view from my old front-row season ticket in the South Upper.
Laurent and Revell were outstanding in that match. Don't think they ever repeated it though.Dan Harding's goal V Leeds in the 1-0 win where Francis Laurent bossed the game was good I remember
Otto away at Luton was better.I remember Ronnie Whelan scoring a beautifully placed free kick at the South Stand end - no idea who it was against, but I had a great view from my old front-row season ticket in the South Upper.
I didn't see it in person, but Ricky Otto away at Barnsley was something special.
That.Mike Marsh against Ipswich... last-minute winner and absolute humdinger
I remember that Worthington strike!The best goal I have ever seen scored by a Southend player at Roots Hall , was Bob Worthingtons 35 yarder against Plymouth in Aug 74 in the North Bank end , how that never broke the net I do not know . Another great goal by a Southend player was scored by Trevor Roberts when he was playing for the Belfairs school masters against the school Easter 1970 on the Belfairs playing field . Trevor held two players off before hitting a 35 yard shot that had Belfairs pupil and Southend youth player Simon Thorose beaten all the way .
It's funny what you remember. I remember vividly that when Angell headed in the second goal in the Luton match, the ball seemed to dip on him at the last minute forcing him to stoop. I don't remember it being a windy day or anything either!Again, here it is. This is in my top 3 too.
Unforgettable!Mike Marsh against Ipswich... last-minute winner and absolute humdinger
