Southend away Boxing Day 99 some fella reading his programme whilst having a p1ss dropped it in the overflowing steaming yellowness. With only a seconds hesitation reached watch deep in the trough to retrieve the sodden pages, gave it a shake spraying the nearby Teyn folk then wandered off like nothing happened.
Buster Bloodvessel “performed” lip up fatty on the pitch and we drew 2-2.
It was a early kick off so a group of us decided to have a party on the beach, as the pubs were not open. The looks we got from the runners in a mini marathon on the front as 'party hats, partypoppers, bottles of wine, sausage rolls were the order of the day!
Being drunk at 11.30am in the morning is the only way to be in Southend!
Was that the game when Warren Donald scored with one of the hardest shots I've ever seen or was it in the 4-4 draw?
