The moment @GusScottmorriss scored the winning penalty in the shootout for @SUFCRootsHall to win a first ever national cup, beating @WealdstoneFC 0 (4-2) 0 in the #FATrophy final @wembleystadium 🏆
A moment that will be savoured, cherished and revisited for years to come!
Commentator thoughts 🎙️
@WMuggleton, Glenn Pennyfather and Paul Clark after #Southend United won the FA Trophy on penalties.
The game finished 0-0 but the Blues ran out 4-2 winners in the shoot-out.
Makes me think of what Kieron Dyer said when I asked him @BBCEssexSport what type of players he would be looking for.
‘I want really exciting flair players, you need players who take others out of the game in one-on-one situations’
Good numbers from last season - exciting 👍
Brilliant to meet new @SUFCRootsHall head coach Kieron Dyer this morning ⚽️
Clearly set targets out of securing promotion from @NL_Enterprise in his first season- ‘It’s an expectation, I don’t mind putting pressure on myself.’
Full interviewing coming today @BBCEssexSport 📻

An eye-catching appointment @SUFCRootsHall 🤩
A source at the club said #Blues were very impressed with his interview & how he has taken time to 'earn his stripes' learning from other managers as well as his positive 'obsession with the game'.

Seeing as @GusScottmorriss is leaving @SUFCRootsHall here’s my favourite of his 17 goals this season - a terrific team move against Sutton United.
