Southend 3 Spurs 2 clips now on Facebook

[Bernie Friend]

For those of you who fancy a bit of glorious nostalgia - Big Roy, Crowny, Dave Martin and Benno, plus a certain rotund Geordie genius - there's clips from the Southend 3 Spurs 2 League Cup game in the 80s on the Red Card Roy page at Facebook.

Good work!

Shame it doesn't show Crowny hitting the post, or Paul Stewart being sent off, but apart from that it's brilliant.

In terms of memorable games I know we do these lists from time to time but this is a shoe in for the top 10 of all time. It was one hell of a night and seeing those clips brought back so many good memories.

Tony I have the complete match on DVD. Once copied, I'll send you a copy.

Cheers Paul. Correct me if my memory blurs me but apart from his sending off I'm suggesting it was his all round performance in this game alone that elevated Donut to legendary status. It's also one of the too few games my Dad has been to in the last 30 years but the one he talks about the most. I'm back in the Uk 10th August for definitely 2 possibly 3 weeks

What a coincidence. I'm in Hong Kong in August.

Give us a shout when you get back. What impressed me more was not Donut winning every single ball in the air, but how good Paul Roberts' throws were. Better than Johnny Herd's in any case. Also, how many direct balls we played for Donut to win and hopefully knock down for Crown or Butler coming up through the middle.

I was in the North Bank for that goal and have memories of Pyscho Bennett almost scoring and I think smashing into the upright ......... memory might be playing me tricks but it was a very good night - love the footage of David Crown - a true superstar in our midst at every home game.

I now have a smile back on my face - thank you for putting it on you tube

Donut only has legendary status in the same way that Drewe has it, in that they were both crap but tried..

Nah I'm not biting on that comment c c. Ask David Crown how valuable it was to have Donut alongside him.

Quality, one of the best atmosphere's that night I can remember at the Hall!

Well I'm glad some people can take enjoyment out of that because I certainly couldn't what with all that aerial ping pong. Get it on the deck! If I wanted to watch rubbish like that I'd go down the park. It may be effective but I certainly wouldn't want to watch it. It wasn't even effective as we lost etc etc Sturrock out.
