Southend v Fulham Friendly 1964

[DoDTS]

The day before our friendly with Fulham, and it reminds me of a similar friendly some 44 years ago, when we played them in a Testimonial for Peter Watson in April 1964.

The most memoriable thing about this game was the score a 6-5 win, not often you see eleven goals in a match. and as a twelve year old I thought Friendlies were the best thing since sliced bread and couldn't wait for the next one.

Also the gate was nearly 7,000 I don't think as many people will see as many goals tomorrow do you?
