What is considered one of Southends great games to date in 1979

A

The evening of 10th January 1979, saw Southend’s biggest game to date, an FA Cup 3rd round home tie against the mighty ‘Reds’ of Liverpool. The evening ended in a surprise 0-0 draw on a snow covered pitch, and saw a very relieved Liverpool side take the game to a replay at Anfield the following week. The replay was an eventful encounter and both teams ended the first half still unable to break the deadlock.
3-0 to Liverpool. For the travelling Shrimpers it was a night to remember. Here they were in the ‘Mecca’ of football, The ‘Red Cauldron’, Anfield Road. The home of the greasest club side in the world. By half time they were feeling confident and a little disappointed with the scores being level at 0-0. Southend’s Derek Parker had missed what could only be described as ‘sitters’ or open goals, three times in the first 45 minutes. But the dream was not to be. They eventually went down 3-0 on the night, but were still in high spirits. It’s not everyday that a club like Southend United gets a taste of the high life.
