Stuart Brace had left the club , new signing Stuart Parker and Dave Cunningham scored for us , it was Dave Smiths first game in charge . World Cup winner Jackie Charlton was Wednesdays manager that day .
I reckon it was Parker and Moody . Rowley was still manager.I thought Brace was still here for that season. Chris Guthrie had gone to Sheffield United in the summer, but we had Bracey for one more season, I'm sure.
Actually, just checked. Stuart Brace did play, but you're right, he didn't score. Goals credited to Dave Cunningham and Alan Moody.
Southend United 2-1 Scunthorpe United, September 14th 1985.
I am fairly certain Richard Cadette was one of the scorers - not sure where I could check that online so the answer may have to wait until I get home.
A bumper crowd of 2,895, and I await a certain comment from a certain Mr Firestorm...
Off the top of my head I believe that was Steves 100th league goal .Cadette and Steve Phillips
Off the top of my head I believe that was Steves 100th league goal .
That was his last but one for us , he was shipped off to Torquay a couple of weeks later .Maybe his 150th- I hated him when he was at Brentford - but he was great for us. "Inchy Phillips" scored over 200 league goals altogether, 66 in 158 games for us.
How in the hell do you chaps remember all these games? I honestly can't remember any of them but was probably there.
I reckon it was Parker and Moody . Rowley was still manager.
As I said I was watching about The Mary Rose on BBC4 , I don't know why but I thought it was next season when Southend beat Watford on the first game of the season when Parker and Cunningham scored .Yep, apologies 'LB'. You're right. I knew Si had got one of the scorers right and I chose the wrong one.:blush:
After we beat Sheff Wed in the first game of that season, I really believed it was going to be our season. As it was relegation was just round the corner - at Sheffield Wednesday in the last game of the season - it was us or them.
Brighton was the third round, Cardiff the fourth round and Derby the fifth.
We should have been too good to go down.
