Chris Iwelumo's header gave Scunthorpe victory at Southend on this day in 2013.
The hosts edged the balance of play in the first half with United's goalkeeper Sam Slocombe on hand to save headers from Ryan Leonard and Freddy Eastwood.
After the break, Shrimpers defender Ben Coker mistimed a header into the path of Iwelumo, who nodded the Iron ahead from a couple of yards out.
Ex-Iron player Kevan Hurst came closest to an equaliser with an effort that Slocombe tipped over, but Scunthorpe held on.
In 2008, goals from Matt Sparrow and Paul Hayes aided the Iron to three points against Carlisle United at home.
