Now look at where we are 8 years later. Best day ever when it happened and I'll still cherish it, but how far the club has fallen since.

We'll rise again, says me, an eternal optimist.

 

[Medway Blue]

The despair in the Wycombe end is delicious. We were much the better team that day and their goal was about as flukey as you'll get. What was it, off the upright, off Bentley's back as he dived, off the bar and in? That's before you even go into the fact that it was never a foul in the first place.

You forgot the disallowed goal and the blatant penalty that wasn't given.

I was just walking out up the steps to leave and turned just as the ball hit the net. Queue delirium.

What a day

 

[SouthendSpence]

One half of Wembley erupts!!!

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

I was recovering from a DVT and PE at the time of the final and had just been discharged from hospital a week earlier, so couldn't go.

After we scored that equaliser, my wife was starting the car up to take me back. and threatened me not to shout again during the penalties.
(I ignored that!) The greatest Southend game I have never been to!!

 

[Tribal Chief]

Watched it in my living room in Oregon on a dodgy stream on my laptop that kept dropping. Thankfully it behaved itself for Pigott's goal and the penalties. I remember my then 6-year old being terrified by my response to the equalizer, which was pure delirium.

 

[GBJ]

Last minute! last minute!

That short, sharp half-a-sentence has been Immortalised in my mind forever.

 

[Blues ‘n’ twos]

That roar!!

I was just walking out up the steps to leave and turned just as the ball hit the net. Queue delirium.

What a day

I ended up 5 rows forward of my seat, I have no idea how. I wasn’t on an aisle seat
