The 1994–95 season was Colchester United's third consecutive season in the fourth tier of English football. ==Season Review== With Roy McDonough sacked at the end of the 1993/94 season, few, if any, listed the name of former Ipswich full-back George Burley as a candidate but the Scotsman was duly appointed in July 1994. Six straight defeats was not an ideal baptism, Burley dug out his boots, brought in new faces and called upon Dale Roberts as coach. The turn around was immediate as United suffered just one defeat in the next 20 League and Cup matches. Few fans arriving for the Boxing Day clash with Northampton knew that Burley had resigned on Christmas Eve. Tapped up by Ipswich, who had been refused permission to speak to him, Burley walked out on fifth placed Colchester leaving a sour taste for years to come. Roberts became Caretaker for United's first-ever encounter with a Premiership side. Unfortunately it was Wimbledon, 1-0 winners, and half the 6,903 crowd at Selhurst Park were from Colchester. Again the Colchester board defied speculation and appointed stalwart ex-defender Steve Wignall as new manager in January 1995. Crowds increased, to 3,277, helped by an interesting promotion when all 6,055 were admitted free to the clash with Darlington on 4 March 1995. Well placed for a play-off berth, United gained just two points from the last four games and finished 12 points adrift.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The U's History: The 90s )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1994–95 Colchester United F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
