In the summer of 1990, Southend had just clinched promotion to the
Third Division under manager David Webb's leadership. Webb, a
Chelsea legend in his playing days, spoke of his desire to oversee
a second successive promotion into the unchartered territory of
Division Two and make history at the same time. It was a bold claim
from the manager and one that was not taken seriously by very many,
but he believed in his team and himself. Webb began to plot a route
into The Second Division and as the season progressed, so did his
unfancied team. 'Who put the ball in the Bury net...?' is the story
of that unbelievable rollercoaster ride. The culmination of this
extraordinary story had adults crying tears of joy at witnessing
something they never thought they would - promotion to English
football's second tier. Fans would no longer crave that season in
the sun...for 1990/91 saw the football Gods shine on Southend
United Football Club brighter than ever before.
