Memory Lane Old Photos of Southend United.

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Blackburn v Southend 1992, old 2nd Division. Blackburn would go up via the play-offs. So they had a good side. Kenny Dalglish as Manager. But Southend had already beaten them 3-0 at Roots Hall. So we're not their easiest opponents. Mind you, they had that little s David Speedie scoring goals for them.

It still hurts me that equaliser, we were staying overnight in Blackburn and it definitely wasn’t the night it could have been ?

remember that one big time. Was in the main stand with an ex-Navy mate of mine and stayed up for the night. Gutted when Speedie equalised. And they left THAT tackle from Dean Austin in the second half out of the highlights, criminal editing!!!

If you are anything like me, you are obsessed with the old South Bank when it was a massive terrace.
Unfortunately I never saw it in the flesh so videos like the below are like gold dust to me.

It's a video that seems to have been made for a never finished documentary and gives a real insight into Roots Hall in the mid 80's. Magical!

It was a decent stand indeed.

30,000 at home to Liverpool in the FA Cup was amazing. Not to mention numerous other occasions which plenty on here can vouch for.

Yes, been covered on here many times. Chelsea, QPR and Aston Villa for away support on the South Bank, and the North Bank being full. The most packed of course was the Liverpool game, when we filled it. That South Bank was much bigger in real life. Photo's don't do it justice.

It was more about Tony Russell's charity walk for cancer research, where he walked 2335 miles to every professional football club in England and Wales.

Was it Villa there was a pitch invasion?

Yes. Both mobs met on the half way line. The police were ready though and shot across the half way line before it got out of hand.

Chesterfield v Southend 18th Feb 2006.
Surely we can't lose to 10 men? Calm down everyone, we have Freddy Eastwood.

 

[* ORM *]

Chesterfield was always one of my favourite away days. If I remember correctly Goater was having a shocker before his goal. I cannot believe that was 16 years ago! Then again who’d have thought I’d be in HK for 10 years and counting?

As it's quiet, thought I'd put this up, a brief mention of the Blues (6 mins 30 in) but, before and after that, some of you may recognise mums and dads (even grannies) ;

I watched that as it went out. I was at that school at the time, that's my playground and thats my Mum giving Danny fish and chips.
