Memory Test

[gbshrimper]

OK - dust down the memory caps.

Who scored the first Southend Goal you ever witnessed.

For me I think it was Ian Benjamin at Brentford in 90/91...growing up as schoolboy in London, I didnt get to too many games before then and amazingly we didnt score in the first 5 games I went too!

So - its Benji for me, and I'm happy with that!

Roy McDonough from the game below

Late 50's. Too long ago and far too young to remember. Sorry.

I was too young to remember it.

Dagenham - FA cup 1-0 to the blues (poss 1970?) Billy Best (my hero!) scorer.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Oooooooooooohhhhhhh Andy Ansah.
v Derby Jan 92

 

[SUFCFARAWAY]

Ricky Otto v Wolves. 1992 possibily?

My first game was Notts County away under Dick Bate and we lost 6-2. Think we took the lead via Roy McDonaugh but could be wrong.

1969 - home v Crewe. 2-0 win, Gary Moore got the first and Eddie Baber the 2nd.

Well, Dave Martin actually scored the first goal I ever witnessed at Roots Hall - the equaliser against Birmingham City on Monday 18th March 1991.

However, the goal that got me hooked was the second goal from the Blues that day (1-0, 2-1 up... doo-dah!), scored by "OOOOOh" Bretty Angell... a fantastic cross from the left supplied by, as I recall, Adam Locke - and, in a wonderful slo-mo moment, Bretty leapt into the air like a salmon... and thundered the ball in with his head.

The North Bank erupted, I went bananas with them... and that was it, I was well and truly hooked.

Happy days.

As covered in a previous thread, 34 years ago today, Bill Garner in a 2-1 victory over Doncaster Rovers.

Mickey Beesley against Reading, whilst i gurgled & belched in my pram.

No change there then.

 

[dave cusaks nose]

Exceter City 86, we won 2-1 I think a certain Roy Mcdonough banged in my first southend goal (sure roy and cadette scored that evening)

 

[HUTTON]

Might have been Greig Shephed in the first game of the 83-84 season, I dont know.

 

[southendneil]

A Steve Phillips Penalty in a 1-0 win over Torquay on the last day of the 84/85 season. This helped us escape re-election on goal difference. No one could accuse me of glory hunting at the time as this remains our worst ever season.

Thankfully Richard Cadette arrived in the summer and things got rather better.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Richard Cadette in a 2-1 Div 4 win against Scunny and their keeper who had a nervous tic.

 

[Stats]

My first game was in the 95-96 season vs Birmingham at home

We won 3-1 but I'm not positive who scored the first goal that day, I think it was Dave Regis

Also in that game Paul Byrne (slim version) scored a blinder, jinking past several players before rifling in a shot from the edge of the box

After that I was hooked
