Southend United

My local club Southend are having a decent year, which hasn't always been the case.
Glory moments are few and far between.
The only ones that stick out are beating Man Utd a few seasons back in the League cup, holding Liverpool to a draw in the FA Cup in the seventies, beating Newcastle 4-0 to go top of the league (Division 2, now the Championship) back in the early nineties and reaching Cardiff 3 times in 3 years (2 LDV/JPT Trophies and a play off final) plus the first ever Wembley trip 2 years ago.
The rest of the history doesn't add up to much :(
A few years back I picked up some old scrapbooks at a boot sale full of footie clippings from the late 50's, included amongst them were several Southend ones. I posted them on a Southend memories page on Facebook but forgot to post them here, so here they are :)
All from around 1957-59.
