A bad night all round, really, given that Wycombe had been reduced to nine players (Simpson and Brown sent off) and lost. I remember the good pub stop on the way - in Kelvedon, I think - made the trip worthwhile though.
it's quite possible that many of the younger fans might join in with the "we hate Col u" chants without ever having seen us play them, which seems odd. Mind you we still sing "we all fking hate Slough" and even fewer must have been around in those days.
@eric_plant Full team - 1 Granville 2 Crossley 3 Walford 4 Kerr 5 Creaser 6 Smith 7 Blackler (sub Robinson) 8 Stapleton 9 West 10 Ryan 11 Hutchinson. Sub not used Guppy.
Slightly before my time, but he was a talentless deluded guy from the stone ages, who is certain to have horrible outdated ideas on all manner of affairs.
You can tell he still thinks he was as good as O Neill or better, and can't work out why he instead of earning millions is peddling second hand cars for a living.
He actually tried to depict Colchester as the underdog v Wycombe, claiming we had tonnes of full time staff whereas he was some sort of amazing one man band. Never mind that Col U players were full time and we weren't at that stage. Don't admit that tiny fact,
Away game in 90s ... best rendition of "your just a bunch of *ankers" ever to their lads on pitch in front of us. Remember a short fat one with curly hair getting arested. Classic. Rivalry not as fierce now but they will always be #1 for my generation.

Steve Browns 30 yarder to make it 3-nil. Was stood behind the goal and remember it being in from the moment it left his foot.
@Malone I've found a record of the coach accident on the web: http://everyaccident.co.uk/accident-20004200G0041

Must have been blimmin worrying @Uncle_T .
And sod's law i'm certain meant not even one free seat anywhere else to move to!
Depending on the size of the window smash, could be exceptionally dangerous too i'd have thought.

So no Guppy or Nuttell in the picture.

Glad my memory didn't fail me.
According to the Colchester fans on Twitter some of you still have mental scars from layer road? Can you confirm or deny
Roy McDonough seemed a nasty bit of work. Most red cards 13. Banned for 6 months for throttling a ref see wiki link.

I'll never forget Barrett's goal kick that won the game and was ultimately the difference between us going up and them.
