Breaking News Derek Spence and Keith Mercer to visit Roots Hall
Hopefully the mods will let this thread run here for a bit rather than batting it to 'ex-players' as I know from a post I ran back in April last year on Derek that this will be of interest to a lot of you. After meeting Derek last April in Blackpool at the time of reaching my '92' we discussed...- Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset

Memory Lane SUFC memorabilia - what do you have?
After a dismal day I got round to opening a couple of boxes of my old SUFC programmes, and other tat, which have been in the loft for more years than I can recall. One item I had forgotten I still had (thought my mum had chucked it when I left home around 25 years ago) was a Wembley Trophy...- Floval Flyer

The Bizarre Summer Of 1983...
I have never seen a thread on SZ that relates to the sacking of Dave Smith and his rather incredible reaction. Either I spent the Summer of '83 in a drunken haze? Or our manager was fired - but amazingly ignored the sacking and turned up to work for a period of time. Anyone remember a balding...- Kevin Hogg

Terry Gray
What a good game last night and, to top it off, Terry Gray was at the game looking very fit and well. We spoke about the famous 'food poisoning' back in 1979 and I hadn't realised just how bad it was.

Hi there
I'm new on here but you probably guessed that anyway. I started going to Southend back in 1974/75. The 1975/76 season was my first full season and we got relegated but I didn't let that put me off. Dave Smith took over for the 1976/77 season and I went to most of those home games too. The...- kjps

Anyone remember the last time a popular Scottish manager was fired?
Dave Smith in about 1983 or 84. In his case - he also didn't just leave. Rather than being asked back "a la PS" he refused to acknowledge the decision and continued to turn up for work every day for a couple of weeks. Fantastic! Sacked, absolutely no influence, no work load ...but still went to...- Kevin Hogg

SZ's SUFC Hall of Fame - Nominations round 8
...The SZ Hall of Fame? Last time we did a round of nominations was August/Sept, and I think Dave Smith made it in. And I'm pretty sure Mark Gower now qualifies to be nominated. Also we seem to have lost the Hall of Fame page from the front of the website? Unless I'm being blind.- Jedi Shrimper

Haven't time for a big write-up for this one, but our third tie pits two spectacular goals against each other.
