Inspired by this snippet I was unaware of
what instances can you think of when Southend played in the "wrong" colours.
A few to start you off:
Burnley away mid 90s - we played in Burnley's away kit. I think Bressington got sent off and we lost 5-2 or something.
Walsall at home to celebrate the Trust eradicating polio. Franck Moussa scored a cracker from a long throw. Mooooooooose.
Bristol City at home 05/06, we played in our away kit as the players had thrown their kits into the crowd at Swansea. Wayne Gray scored.
Mine too, even though I was only 10 years old. Remember saying to my dad "Why are we playing in Wolves colours?" not understanding in the FA Cup that both teams wear change strips if there's a colour clash.
Bert Trautmann broke our hearts (and Roy Hollis) that afternoon ... amazing saves.
