Last weekend Spurs shocked everybody as they spanked nine goals past Wigan in one of the biggest wins ever seen in the top-flight. However, it would have struck a chord with Dagenham fans for quite a different reason – on a cold February night in 2004, the Daggers equalled the unenviable record for the biggest ever Conference defeat. Here’s our rather painful look back at that night – you might have to read on through your fingers.

Ted Hardy is a Daggers legend and rightly so. He created a team from virtually nothing which challenged at the top end of the Ryman League and made it to the FA Trophy Final. However even he could get it wrong sometimes – such as when he signed Mitchell Springett.

After missing out on promotion for a second successive season, Garry Hill decided it was time for change. A big turnaround of players included the signings of two brothers, Lenny and Chris Piper. It couldn’t have gone much worse.
