Battle of.....

[Yorkshire Blue]

Right enough of all this depressing ****.

It's about time we had a new battle of.

So I suggest a battle of the greatest moments in SUFC history so I can wallow in nostalgia and watch that video of Benji scoring at Bury on loop.

So your nominations in please gentlemen.

 

[Ron Manager]

Is Benji's goal at Bury your nomination? If not then it would be mine.

If you've already grabbed that then I'd nominate the LDV Trophy semi-final, 2nd leg against Colchester. The most nervous I've ever been at a Southend game and the relief and sheer joy at the final whistle was amazing. The first time we'd ever got to a national Cup Final, more than the actual final itself (which was a great weekend) that night at Roots Hall encapsulated everything great about being a Shrimper.

Juppys goal at Cardiff. I'll take that as I don't remember seeing it as I was going so mental!

 

[Eastblack]

Eastwood scoring against the mancs

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Wayne Gray's title winning goal.

 

[Uncle Leo]

A few of my favourites have already gone, so I shall nominate:

Jay Smith's goal in the FA Cup vs Canvey at Park Lane.

 

[TBV_Dan]

Peter Clarke equalising against Chelsea in the last minute of the match at Stamford Bridge!

 

[BrettieAngell]

Eastwood's equaliser at Swansea.

 

[canveyshrimper]

Billy Best's 5 goals against Brentwood in a 10-1 romp in the FA Cup.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Eastwood vs Man U

 

[GBJ]

I'll have; The 2nd leg of the play-off final at Roots Hall when Fred put the penalty past Northampton

 

[BrettieAngell]

Eastwood vs Man U

Too late mate.

 

[EastStandBlue]

That 45 minutes against Yeovil Town in the 05/06 season.

The most complete performance I've ever seen from a Football League club...

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Damon Searle's "Bend it like Beckham" goal, second only to Adrian Clarke's goal in his last game ever for Southend think it was against Brighton if my memory is right ( Please advise if not !!)

 

[tice_18]

My first ever game my dad took me to, I was about 6/7, we played Shrewsbury and lost 3-2, Tes bramble put a penalty 6 foot wide! I had a great day and was hooked from then on!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

1. Benji, Bury (Ron Manager)
2. Juppy's goal at Cardiff (Pickled Seal)
3. Eastwood v Man U (East Black)
4. Wayne Gray clinching the title (Ayrshire Blue)
5. Jay Smith live on Sky (Uncle Leo)
6. Peter Clarke v Chelsea (supershrimper)
7. Freddy's 2nd at Swansea to clinch promotion (Brettie Angell)
8. Billy Best's 5 and Southend's 10 (Canveyshrimper)
9. Freddy (again) and his play-off penalty (graysblue jr)
10. That 45 minutes against Yeovil when we became Brazil (ESB)
11. Searle v Rushden? (DSLC)
12. Tes missing a penalty (good luck with this one) (Tice18)
13. Even Che scored (Mk II) (MtS)

Can't believe no-one's nominated Brett Angell v the Scum, nor any win over Col Ewe (to be fair, there are so many examples it may be difficult to pick just one)

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Che Wilson stroking the ball into the net to put us 4-1 up against Brentford. I felt like I must have been dreaming...
