    Best Southend team with 4 letters in the surname

    Started thinking about this last night on the train Best Southend XI with players whose surnames only have 4 letters. So far, I have Hone at right-back and Mark Hall and Derek Hall on the wings and Billy Best up front. Any suggestions?

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Billy Best

    I never saw Billy Best play. What I have seen was the reverence that those who had, hold Billy Best. The mere mention of his name and fans of a certain age go all misty-eyed. I first noticed this phenomenon in 1993. I knew Stan was good, but I wasn't at that stage sure quite how good he was...

    Rusty Shackleford's X-Files: SUFC Special

    I thought I would depart from the normal RSXF theme of carl, steveo and I arguing with all the Godless lefties and discuss something which really doesn’t belong in the Pub section – my view on the current state of Southend United, both on and off the field. Steve Tilson has presided over one...

    Up for the second time is Ronnie Pountney The first individual to be nominated 6 times, this still wasn't enough to make him a first ballot hall of famer, as his vote seemed to have got lost in the Christmas period. The idea that Pountney didn't make it was met by incredulity from those who...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ronnie Pountney

    There are many ways to measure greatness: appearances, medals, honours, popularity. Well Ron Pountney sits third in the all-time appearance list, was an integral part of the club's first major title (Division 4, 1980-81) and won the player of the year award a record three times. Ronnie...

    It was forty years ago next weekend that a never to be broken record was established by two Southend United Legends, Billy Best and Gary Moore. Both scored hat-tricks in the First and Second Rounds of the F.A. Cup in the 1968/69 Season with the first pair coming against Kings Lynn on 16th...

    Best Manager and Best Player - to prove Napster wrong.....

    In the Worst Manager/Player thread, Napster reckons there would only be a handful if it was Best Manager and Player being discussed. It's been done before, but I don't think together, and I like proving Napster to be wrong, so..... Graysblue has already nominated Tilly and Billy Best. For...

    20 goal strikers.

    Everyone knows that having one of these players can benefit any team and since the departure of you know who, there have been numerous calls for us to get one in. Never an easy task. It got me thinking how many times an SUFC player has achieved this feat, so using Robin Michels excellent SUFC...

    35 Year Ago........

    tomorrow, is the anniversary of my first Southend match vs. Doncaster Rovers at home, played on either Good Friday or Easter Monday. We won 2-1 (Billy Best and Bill Garner) in that promotion season. I stood with my brother on the South Bank. Just realised this, and thought I'd share it with...

  14. Billy Best at last week's game

    Good to see Billy Best as the half-time guest at last weeks game. Surprised that no-one else had commented on him. I was a little too young to remember him but my dad used to go to see us in the late 60's and he still raves on about him as a natural goalscorer and one of the best players he...

    No-one wants to knock Steve Tilson and the great job he has done, or knock the players who have got the club into the Championship so its not criticism to try make suggestions or point out things out. And Southend have got where they are trying to play the game the right way and theres a lot...
