And what a day it was! Possibly the most nervous I've ever felt at a football match but it was all worth it in the end. Strange to think that Southend won the title that day and are now going to be playing non-league football next season.

Poll:

How many polls will Leadbelly do this season?

Unlikely Durham, as it's not in my memorabilia collection, but it may well feature in some guise eventually. By the time me and others got to the ground after a very enjoyable pre-match session in the nearby pub, there wasn't a programme to be found for love nor money.

I got more points than the U's that day

Got photographed doing 87 in a 70 ,............

3 points and a £70 fine

One of the worst games of football but still my favourite day in 40+ years of supporting the U's. I am so glad I was there that day

When back in Colchester we went celebrating and then met players in a bar on Crouch Street. Got some very blurry eyed/ drunken pictures.

I still have my white CUFC polo shirt I wore that day. It's not been used since that day

My Wife and I and our two sons drove down to Bridgwater on the Friday night. 310 miles!

On the Saturday we went to the match after calling at the Clarks Village at Street (my Wife went shopping in Yeovil during the game). After the game drove back to Bridgwater and had a very enjoyable evening in the Boat and Anchor pub. Returned home via Telford on the Sunday.

A great weekend. The atmosphere after the game was simply electric (we weren't allowed on the pitch) but the Yeovil supporters were very gracious towards us. Great scenes, great emotion.

I remember a gentleman standing near me told me he had waited 65 years for this moment.

RS absolutely right, Southend won the league and now have been consigned to the National League.

Johnny White and Greg Halford still playing for Southend. Dean Gerken back at Col U.

Amazing times and memories.
