Pre-Match Thread Scunthorpe United v Southend United

[Mick]

That sounds about right.

Don't think so. His first start for Scunthorpe was a couple of years later.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

There was definitely a pop theme to that Scunthorpe side.

Not only was Dave Stewart on the subs bench, but the two centre halves were Dall & Oates!

And of course Tony Hadley for Southend

This much is true.

Nope. He made his debut against Bournemouth on 25th March 1980.

 

[RobM]

That was gold! Or was it the "Wide Boys"?

 

[AndyT]

And of course Tony Hadley for Southend

LOL ... Of course! :smile:

The makings of a supergroup, right there on the Roots Hall pitch that night!

 

[Kevin Hogg]

I went to the 6-1 win at The Old Show Ground!!

All very interesting, but will it help us Sat, i have a feeling our lack of quality is going to let us down. Unless of course we can score in the first few min then hang on for 90 min .

 

[BrettieAngell]

I'm sure I read on here (I think) that we haven't won at Sunny since 1963! Can anyone confirm that?

2 have mentioned in this thread the 6-1 win in 1983.

Oh ok thanks, I know we don't win there very often but I thought that can't be right.

 

[B.B.The Legend Lives On.]

I'll always remember the home game against Scunthorpe in the 71/72 season, as I remember it was a Friday night game and was chucking it down, we played really well but ended up on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline, all because of a little git that ripped us to pieces, went by the name of Keegan, dont know what happened to him. Both teams got promoted that season, us 2nd and Scunthorpe 4th. One of the best games I've ever seen at the Hall.

Kevin Keegan did not play against us in 1971-72 that match was played on 30th.August 1971(Monday). Keegan signed for Liverpool in the summer of 1971 for about £35,000. Kevin Keegan has played against Southend 5 times in his career 3 times at The Old Showground in 1968-69(lost 4-1);1969-70(lost 2-0);1970-71(lost 3-0), he has also played twice at Roots Hall 1968-69(Scunny won 3-0) and 1969-70 Southend won 3-0 with a Billy Best Hat-trick. He was also manager with Newcastle United when we played them in 1992-93 losing 3-2 at St.James Park then drawing 1-1 at Roots Hall with a goal by Stan Collymore. Although Keegan was on the winning side 4 times when playing against Southend both at home and away he never scored against us.

Thats very strange, I seem to have a strong memory of that, must be losing some brain cells.

Thanks for that.

Not surprising given that you are hundreds of years old ........................

 

[Little Blue Rooster]

3-0 Mooney hat-trick

 

[RHB]

3-0 Mooney hat-trick

If you predict a Mooney hat trick every game then I suppose on the law of averages it might happen at sometime in the future.

Ah yes - the old 3-2-2-1-2 formation as used by clubs across the world .........

Broken hand, but Brown reckons it won't keep him sidelined. Probably strap it up Vardy style, let's just hope he plays like him too.
