Boxing Day , Roots Hall , 1989 . The U's are heading for the Conference and already deep in trouble. Southend contain Paul Roberts, Nicky Smith, and had star strikers Mario Walsh and U's legend Big Roy . The U's expect a battering, but overturn the form book ( well we did not have any ) turn in a solid display, especially by the English boys, and score two second half goals in front of the away fans at the open end . Happy Christmas Everyone !!!!! | |
