Southend United Football Club

There is nothing quite like going to a match that looks to be nothing more than 'just another game' but at the end leaves you fulfilled and excited. Such matches, with crushing victories, great comebacks and triumphs over adversity, are all here in a selection of classic matches covering the breadth of Southend United's near-100-year history. Memorable scores against top-flight opposition, great fightbacks and vital promotion-clinching matches are vividly recalled from a sideline perspective, as are some of the true greats of the games, such as Bert Trautmann, Stan Collymore and Gabriel Batistuta. A trip to the Twin Towers of Wembley and matches in far-flung places are not forgotten. Carefully selected and researched by Peter Miles and David Goody, this book recounts the highs and lows of some of the greatest matches in the history of Southend United Football Club.
