[/B]Billy Best [/B]Vs Brentwood FA Cup - won 10-1

Saves me nominating that one.:)

Tony Hadley v Newport at home, we were 2-0 down with about 11 minutes to play, up popped Tony with a headed goal and we ran out winners 4-2.

Gerry Fell in the same match with two long range efforts IIRC.

 

[ElstreeBlue]

Stanley Vs Huddersfield away in the Cup 2 goals , the 2nd was pretty special - Won 2-1

beat me to it - that came to my mind too.

IIRC we were 0-1 down deservedly and Stanley beat Udders absolutely single-handedly. One genius amongst a team of rubbish won the game for us. The 2nd was one of the best goals I've ever seen and did well on the MOTD goal of the month competition too. After seeing that performance from Stanley, I thought we could go on to beat anyone in the Cup that year with him on that form.

Steve Phillips hat trick 82/3 SUFC 3 Sheff U 1.

Peter Clarke - Ipswich away last season.

 

[SUFCEssex]

sorry meant ipswich the season before last.

 

[Stats]

Matt Harold - Vs Witham Town, Away, Pre Season 07/08, SUFC Won by lots.

They say every dog has his day & Matty showed us all that he'd found his level with a brilliant hat trick against the mighty Witham Town. Even being hit in the gonads at point blank range couldnt take the shine of his day.

 

[Blueshrimper]

Tes Bramble against Boston. Not only did he look great up font that day he managed to only concede one goal when put inbetween the sticks.

 

[please delete my account]

Richard Young - some pre-season friendly. He scored and everyone thought he was going to be the new Richard Cadette.
Turned out to be as much use as a one legged man in an arse-kicking comp.

Matt Harrold, home to Norwich in the CCC. The little Earnshaw bloke grabbed a couple of early goals, including a header inside the 6 yard box. I think we nicked a goal back before the half, and bought Matty on at the break. They dropped the ex spurs bloke Doherty (?) into the back four but Harrold was superb, winning everything in the box and we ended with a 3-3 draw, with Gower scoring in injury time as far as I can recall. One of those draws that feel like a win due to the lateness of the equalizer

Tony Richards v. Halifax (h), August 2001. Netted a brace, and looked like a sublime barnstorming target man. If you'd only ever seen him play that game, you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a quality centre-forward.

Scott Houghton v. Hartlepool (a), December 1999. Quite simply a staggering performance from the former Tottenham starlet. Every time he received the ball on the left flank, the Hartlepool defence parted like the Red Sea as if the rotund winger were Moses. Scored two, made two, and toyed with the Pools all afternoon. Mesmerising.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Oh, and since Uxbridge Shrimper texted me about him the other night...

David Lee, v. Brighton (a), August 2000. Played "in the hole" at the head of midfield and scared the pants off the much-fancied Seagulls every time he got the ball. Made one, and scored one - his second when collecting the ball just inside his own half, jinking past a couple of players and then smashing it in with minimal backlift. Reminded me of Paul Scholes in his pomp. Still think he'd have been a bit special for us if he hadn't had his head turned by Hull...

*sigh*

Julian Hales - Leicester away - 1996 ish

Never even had a shot that I can recall until the eventful day at Filbert Street when he bagged a hatrick. Never before or since have I seen a less likely hatrick hero but he will always have a special place in my heart for that one.

that game led to the favourites for that season subbing their goalie at half time. I think it was the bloke who is still in goal for them this season.

 

[shrimp to 11]

Lewis Hunt- last game of the season v Torquay a few years back. We were robbed and lost 2-1,(dudfield had a clear pen not given and a goal incorrectly chalked off)but lewis was outstanding that afternoon and gave me added hope for the following season(which we went up). Also to rub salt etc. Torquay got promoted on the back of this spawny win,or got in playoffs can't remember..

Harrold at West Brom, shut the Baggies supporters up when he came on and scored equaliser.

Anyone know anymore about that game? I was quite young at the time but remember my Dad and brother raving about this new signing, only to him then be a bag of ****e once the season started....

Neil Campbell-Away at Orient sometime!! Scored 2 really good goals and we all thought he had come good..oh how wrong we were!!

Che Wilson

Must be the 3-0 win at Col U.

Very much agree with your sentiments!!

Most of the obvious ones have gone

Nicky Bailey v Walsall (A) He completely ran the show and provided one of the most complete performances I've witnessed from a Southend player. It was as if he'd stolen Walsall's playbook, as every time Walsall attacked, there was Bailey to intercept, or slide in and end the move. Phenomenal display that helped end Maher's career.

Paul Byrne v Birmingham (H). Tied their defence up in knots all afternoon, capping it off with a superb goal. A fantastic performance which just highlighted what a wasted talent he was.

Dave McSweeney v Hull (A) Think it was Hull, but all of a sudden this kid who'd looked like the archetypal rabbit in headlights started to resemble a footballer and hinted at why Webby had rated him so highly. Out of nowhere he started pulling off all these tricks and for about a month not a game would go past where he wouldn't produce a nutmeg, backheel, Cruyff turn or some other trick. Didn't last for long and he ended up at Braintree or somewhere similar.
