  1. RIP Alan Bushell (one of the brothers Grimm)

    Read in the Standard Recorder today that Alan Bushell had recently suddenly passed away. He was the bigger one of the 2 brothers who ran the coaches to away games in the 60's and 70's. Had'nt seen him at Roots Hall for years, although i saw his brother Peter at several games a few years back...

  2. Ref Watch ..... Torquay

    Saturday's referee is Dean Whitestone from Northampton, in his fifth season as a Football League referee, making his seventh visit to Roots Hall. He was here twice last season. Firstly, the Friday night 0-0 draw with Millwall, when he did pretty well in the face of some uncompromising football...

  3. Ref Watch .... Exeter

    Refwatch may seem a little trite at present what with all the goings on at the club, but here goes anyway: Tomorrows man in the middle is, for the second week running, a "first year" Football League referee. This time it's Darren Sheldrake from Kingston in Surrey. His refereeing career has...

  4. Ref Watch ... Norwich away

    Tuesday night's referee for the rather daunting looking fixture, on a ground we haven't lost at for just a couple of months short of 50 years, is Graham Horwood from Luton, in his 3rd year as a League referee and refereeing his first Southend away game. He has however made four visits to Roots...

  5. Ref Watch ..... Boxing Day

    The Boxing Day derby will be refereed by 44 year old Grant Hegley from Hertfordshire. An experienced official, this will be his 14th competitive match at Roots Hall (won 8, drawn 1, lost 4) He has still not yet refereed a Southend away League game although he officiated in the 2-0 LDV win at...

  7. Ref Watch ..... Leeds

    Tuesday night sees Pat Miller, from Bedfordshire, refereeing his second ever Southend match in his 4th season as a League referee. His previous game was as a late replacement in last year's home draw with Swansea (5 cautions including, obviously, McCormack). A short, short-haired and, for my...

  9. Ref Watch .... Playoffs

    They have stuck with their policy of giving the first legs to experienced Football League referees and the crucial second legs to the SG referees. For our home game, we have a return visit from Paul Taylor. Possibly his last ever match at this level (unless he gets an extra year after normal...

  12. Cup Ref Watch ...

    The man in the middle is the very experienced, and therefore soon to retire, Paul Taylor from Cheshunt. Fifteen years a League referee (would have been more but he got kicked off for a couple of years) with one season when he did quite a few Premiership matches. Refereed Southend countless...
