Pretty proud record for such a small club

[stewart]

I was thinking ( thats dangerous Stewart ,stop it ) for a small club we have a pretty good record against European champions something to be very proud of in fact.
and we are a small club compared to them, all this is by memory ,please feel free to correct me if im wrong .If my memory serves me correct we have played Manchester Utd once for a win,Chelsea twice for a draw and a loss, Liverpooli think 5 times for 1 win , 2 draws and 2 losses, Not sure how many times we have played Nottingham Forest, but im sure at sometime we must have ,can add Manchester City once for a loss but as of yet they still to be crowned European Champions, dont think we have played any of the Italian sides or Dutch sides that have won european champions league or Real Madrid ,but i do believe we played a friendly against Barcelona B or C team for a loss . all in all that for a small club compared to them is a pretty proud record, If i missed any please enlighten me. I have written all this to hopefully reignite the love for my club amongst those that are losing there love for it in these bad times .We maybe small but we do have a proud history .COYB.

Gareth Bale ended his career this week with a 100% losing record at Roots Hall.

Yes - the Fairs Cup in '71.

We've also beaten European Cup winners Villa too.

You mentioned Forest in your original post, Stewart, and we did beat them in early October 2005 (at RH, Freddy coming off the bench to score late on).

Man City - 4 losses and 1 draw

Any top teams we’ve never played?

I remember that Southend 2-1 Southampton game. Bale was 17 and was the best player on the pitch. Never thought he’d go on to what he did though!

Santos, Barcelona, Inter Milan……..

They have played against ShirmperZone FC though that was a top team.

Our record against Forest is 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses so not too shabby

Lost 3-0 v Fiorentina (who won the UEFA Cup in 1960/1)

Straws and clutching, comes to mind

Well just think Ronaldo, Rooney and even Lineker have played at Roots Hall and failed to score.

Don’t forget how we hammered 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup winners Newcastle who included our own Dave Elliot and Alan Foggan.

And we got one over 1965 European Cup Winners Cup Winners thanks to Stan and Brett.
