    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Crown

    David Crown was my first footballing hero. I started watching Southend in the mid-80s, but despite constantly nagging the old man it wasn't until late 1987 that he started taking me along with him regularly.

    Any truth in this WW2 story?

    Judging by how far behind eveyone else I seem to be in getting jokes and stuff sent to me, I don't know if any of you have seen this story.

    Stick or Twist?

    After the extreme disappointment of last night's game, I have been toying with a number of questions that up to now I have resisted: 1) Is Tilly still the right man for the job? 2) Is Ron's approach to running the club (from a footballing perspective only) likely to yield the results we are...
