a few months ago before our brilliant run started myself, barry the dog and sunbed lorna were walking down to Talk one friday night, when we found a pair of those awful Pilot glasses laying on the floor. ( you know the ones that tom cruise wears in top gun) any way the dog kept them on in Blue bar and looked a right p**k but we were only mucking around like, and all the people around us actually thought we were trying to be 'really funky like' anyway the next day we went to football and we scored and when I looked round Barry the dog had these f**king silly glasses on in the middle of the day!!, after the game me the dog and sexy becky (my then girl friend ) went for a booze down the sunrooms and we cristened the glasses ' the official promotion glasses of Southend United 04/05season' and believe it or not we didnt stop winning when we had these glasses, even if myself or the dog didnt go the glasses travelled up the country with someone else and yes again we would get the win. Disaster struck one friday night not long ago, when asking were the glasses were before the orient game, one of the chaps informed me that the glasses were listening at home on BBC Essex, the whole pub fell silent and a sudden feeling of disaster bread throughout the chaps. The writiing was on the wall literally.'cockles woz ere 05', and yes as you guesses we lost the game, in a moment of shock and looking for immediate answers 'Sexy Becky' was given the spanish archer (the old ell bow!!) but deep down I new she wasnt the cause of the teams misfortune and it was indeed the curse of the 'official promotion glasses'
I have spoken to the 'NIOG' this morning (National Instituate of Glasses) and they informed me that this story is by no means a one off, and in fact back in 87 in an episode of 'chips' Puncharella actually had a pair of goggles on and not his legendary glasses and in that particular episode the bad guys got away
I can never understand when you find something lucky, like your glasses, that cause us to go unbeaten for such a long time that you can not bring them to a match.
