TV Shrimpers

[Javea Shrimper]

OK, after last week's question about when the Shrimpers first appeared on MOTD, I (sadly) decided to find out how many times our beloved SUFC have appeared on TV. Well, the nights are drawing in ...

20 Mar 93 - Southend 3 Millwall 3 (ITV - Carlton)
15 Aug 93 - Southend 1 Notts Forest 1 (ITV - Carlton)
22 Aug 93 - Millwall 1 Southend 4 (ITV - Carlton)
05 Dec 93 - Southend 0 Leicester 0 (ITV - Carlton)

Home to Derby in (I think) 1994. Was it 1-0, with a late headed winner from Regis who had earlier accidentally hurt their 'keeper?

 

[chaco27saf]

Was the LDV Final not televised?

 

[McScriven]

Erm surely the biggest game in the clubs history. The LDV Final?

Liverpool FA Cup 79 - Wasn't this on Sportsnight as one of the few games to survive the snow ? - Or does midweek not count ?

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

7th October 1987 Derby County away Littlewoods Cup 2nd round. Proper highlights were shown on Sportsnight the game finished in a 0-0 draw, we had won the first leg 1-0 and we went on to play Ipswich away and were very unlucky to lose 1-0.

 

[Adrian C]

A 1-1 Draw at home to Newcastle, when Keegan was in charge and they were charging away at the top of the then Div1. I've got it videoed of the tv somewhere. 30 odd mins of highlights on Carlton.

Correct. I saw that game too, and felt more than a little embarrassed about Dave Regis... he didn't just hurt the Derby keeper (Russell Hoult?), he broke his leg.

Indeed. This is from the Richmond and Twickenham Times

Wanderers' goalie voted Player of the Year
By Dave Peters


GOALKEEPER Martin Taylor has won the Delbeck Champagne/Bucks Free Press Player of the Year award for the second year running.

The glovesman, who is the only player to have appeared in all 63 of Wanderers' first team matches this season, received the trophy from BFP reader Sandra Muir before Saturday's final match of the season against Colchester United.

Her name was picked out from the hundreds of fans who voted for the former Derby County shotstopper to make him the clearest winner in the competition's history.

He won the award by a landslide ahead of defenders Paul McCarthy, who was second, and Jason Cousins who claimed third.

Taylor, 34, retained the title he won last year thanks to a series of stunning displays between the sticks which made him the overwhelming choice of the Adams Park faithful.

His performances were a major factor in Wanderers' epic run to the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season.

He saved two penalties in the fifth round replay win at Wimbledon, including one in the last minute of normal time, before stepping up to score Wycombe's winning penalty in their 8-7 shootout victory against the Dons which put them into the quarter-finals of the famous competition.

He then produced a wonder-stop to help knock Premiership Leicester City out in the quarter-finals before shutting out Liverpool and England hotshot Michael Owen in the semi-final which Blues lost 2-1.

It is the third player of the year title Taylor has collected during his career. He received his first accolade when he was between the sticks at Derby and he will return to the Premiership club's Pride Park HQ next week to present Derby's Player of the Season trophy.

For Taylor all this attention is a bonus. While he was at Derby he was told he wouldn't play again after a horrific broken leg sustained in a challenge with Southend's Dave Regis.

For a year he could hardly walk but he has battled back to fitness and after being brought to Adams Park by John Gregory he has firmly established himself as Wycombe's number one.

Chelsea cup replay

 

[Lord Football]

10/12/2000 The original Cup v Canvey (their home game, our ground) was shown live on Sky I recall. We won 2-1. I wonder happened to all those Canvey fans.

Going back to the original post, we used to be Southern TV when that existed as a highlights package. Remember a very rainy game at home to Portsmouth that was televised. I also have a very vague memory of us being on the Big Match away to Charlton when they come out of Div 3 in the mid 70s.

 

[AndyT]

The League 2 play off semi at Northampton in 2005 was also live.

Don't think that original Canvey game was live 'Lordster'. I might be wrong.
