Throwback: Colchester United 3-1 Cambridge United

44 years ago to the day the U's travelled to Layer Road to face Colchester in the League Cup 2nd round 1st leg. With 3,844 in attendance the home side won comfortably 3-1. A first half goal by Cook saw the visitors 1-0 down at the break. Docherty urged his players to respond with fire but Colchester brought fire extinguishers. An 82nd minute McDonough goal gave the home side a safety net but 5 minutes later Gibbins gave the U's a fantastic goal back. Game on. Well, a minute later McDonough got his brace and an great win for the home side was whistled by John Martin.
