..and reasons why. (it can be 100 if you want it to
)
As it's transfer deadline day and absolutely nothing will happen, us Blues fans have to look to other means to fill out time on message boards.
Therefore:-
All this `David Crown's winner against Wigan' fave goal recollections has only served to reopen the wound that I wasn't there to see it.
For years this was mentioned as one of the best games ever and I wasn't there - instead a family Easter break to Butlins, Bognor Regis to watch ballroom dancing! (mum's a fan) At the time you could count the number of games I missed home and away on the fingers of one hand so this was a constant thorn in my side not to have been there, compounded by the fact that I'd also missed the other `best game ever' the 4-4 v Northampton the previous year - grounded because of a row with my mum as I was walking out the door to the game. (while I think about it, my mum also threw out all my early programmes, including the Liverpool game, because `they were taking up space' at the bottom of my wardrobe. Why am I still nice to this person??!!)
My attendance after Dave Webb left and Vic told me to support one of the other 91 clubs became a bit more sketchy but the three other times we've come from 2-0 down to win in that time I've missed the lot - although I did see us come from 3 down against Charlton but then we still lost so it doesn't really count!
I remember Lee Venus, who never missed a match, breaking down on the way to Derby in '94. Still the best I've ever seen Southend play (3-1 win) the week before Barry Fry walked over broken glass to Birmingham (unfortunately that was just a figure of speech)
Any others
