Even though it ended in a third round 2nd replay defeat at the hands of West Ham of all teams, we stayed in the 1979/80 Football League Cup until October of 79!
But the game I'm interested in is the first round 2nd leg game against Brentford, August 21, 1979.
Holding a 2-1 lead we won the next match at Griffin Park a week later 4-1 for a 6-2 aggregate win & a reward of Bolton in the next round (we won 2-1 away, goalless at home).
I was at the 4-1 win but bar it being a late summer evening and some very happy Shrimpers in the away end as the 4th goal hit the net, I can't remember much else and can't find any reports on it.
Writing an piece around Bournemouth and Brentford away games I need more info on this particular game to complete the article!
Anyone there, team sheets, old match reports, anything of interest would be useful, did Steve Phillips grab the Bees goal before joining us a couple of years later?
Any help appreciated on the 4-1 win, but if nothing else should bring back memories of a rare cup run for the Shrimpers and an excellent 1-1 draw at Upton Park & 0-0 in the replay at Roots Hall, we won't talk about the next Spammers replay!!
