Does anyone remember this classic relegation 6 pointer? We were both bottom 2 with one team going down
Great game.
Never knew Andy Marriott played for them that day

Vivid memories of that match as we were losing 1 - 2.
During the game we had every type of weather imaginable.
I was on the Kop and it was if an electric switch was flicked - the weather blew up, wind was howling and we were kicking towards the kop - as though the Gods were willing us to win and so we did with 2 goals.
It was a massive game at the time as we were running neck and neck for bottom spot and relegation - think ex Ipswich Town and England full back Mick Mills was the manager of Colchester United at the time.
Also whilst talking about Colchester - the season we gained promotion mid week by winning 0 - 2 at Northampton - the following Saturday we played our final league game at home to Colchester - nearly 10,000 there to see us win in an enthralling match 4 - 3 with a late Steve Watkin winner in the kop end.
Colour, scarves, ticker tape - game played in an electric atmosphere and on the pitch at the final whistle in our thousands.
We truly did have some magical times under the reign of Brian Flynn.
