Battle of.....

[Dick Bate's Protege]

True Blue's volley at Northampton 07/08 in the 93rd minute. It was a 40 yard monster that saw us home safely to a 1-0 win. Celebration was good too.

 

[Silencer]

Dreeeeeewe's goal against Col Ewe in the Southern Final 2nd leg. 1-0 down and 3-3 on agrregate, Drew scored his 8th chance of the night as he strolled passed an injured scummer on the floor who was playing him on-side. Simply A-MA-ZING

Not only was this an amazing Essex Victory, Southern final victory.....we made our first ever National Final. Oh and I got Drewe's LDV final flag!!!

 

[weststander]

The 3-0 away victory over the inbreds in the year we won league one. Sitting with fellow blues fans in the away end and seeing all the inbred faces getting redder and redder as each goal went in...... and it was important enough to have a beam back to Roots hall the only time i can ever remember sucha thing...

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

If we're talking about games that weren't(as far as I know)on camera then the 6-1 away win at Bournemouth in the old League cup in 1968 in the Scotland strip along with the 7-0 home win that season against Workington(Clayton et al on target).The former is the finest SUFC performance I've seen in my life surpassing even those magnificent cup wins against Kings Lynn, Brentwood and Swindon from the same era.

I'd like to nominate

a) the day YB woke up, smelled coffee and realised that Kevin Maher was one of the best midfielders ever seen in a Southend shirt

b) the day YB woke up, smelled coffee and realised that Adam Barrett was one of the most over-rated (and overpaid) players ever seen in a Southend shirt

c) Leeboy running down the front of the West like a demented schoolkid when Gower scored a wonder goal vs Darlington

d) I don't believe all the away promotion clinchers have gone so I'll nominate in this order. Swansea, Stockport and Posh (ie if Swansea has gone I'll take Stockport).

I've nominated Swansea.

Drawing with the mighty Liverpool back in 1979. No squad rotation in those days it was the full Liverpool side including Dalglish, Huges and Clemance.QUOTE]

I had a West Stand ticket for this game but had to give it up -because of the Saturday postponement -in order to catch a Magic Bus coach back to Spain.No Easyjet flights back in those days.:'(

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Any more for any more? I reckon we should be able to get it up to 32 easily enough, as we still haven't mentioned beating Newport 4-2,

That was a fantastic game.I was there that night with a Newport supporting mate in the West.Could not believe that late,great turnaround from 1-2 down in the last ten minutes or so.

 

[SUFCStu]

Mark Warren v Swansea 2003, one of the most surreal moments in my time following the Shrimpers

It was 0-2 with less than 15 minutes left.

Three spots left to go. Barna, you've mentioned a few, which one do you want to take?

This list could have be drawn up by Sky, such is the way life before the premier$hite seems to have been airbrushed out, except by a few of the really old people like ORM.

To claim one of the last three spots, add your nomination to the list.

Seriously thinking about Valentine's Day at Derby in the 5th Round of the FA Cup back in 75. Disallowed goal which was proved perfectly good and Bruce Rioch the dirty *** ensuring Derby won. Trouble is, my memory is really not that good!

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

I've already had my vote, but I'm surprised that Gower's wonder-goal at Bristol Rovers in the LDV Southern final, 1st leg, hasn't made it into the list...

I thought about that, as I did Eastwood's spectacular finish against Bristol City that had the whole of Ashton Gate applauding, but had to go with the Yeovil second half.

With so much of our recent success attributed to Eastwood, that performance against Yeovil was done, for the most part, without him and showed perfectly the strength of our squad as a whole. Eastwood did come in and score two in ten minutes, mind...

You're right Kay it isn't, must be all that Deuchars. ;):whistling: The game in 1-0 game was 1976. The one you are thinking of was 77/78 when we lost 3-2 and that **** Bruce Rioch tried to boot Colin Morris over the stand when he was clear on goal.

Both good days out mind.
