    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Alan Moody

    Next up for nomination is Alan Moody. The last two nominees, David Crown and Ricky Otto look unlikely to make it into the Hall of Fame (at least on the first ballot), probably because their glittering Southend career's were deemed too short. That is unlikely to keep Alan Moody out. In fact it...

    Tilly's 300th game in charge

    Steve Tilson is only the 5th manager in our history to achieve this landmark tonight at Swindon, and of those 5, he has the highest percentage of wins - 42%. The other 4 are Ted Birnie (1922-1934) - 38%; Harry Warren (1940-1956) - 40%; Arthur Rowley (1970-76) - 36% and Dave Smith (1976-1983)...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ronnie Pountney 2nd vote

    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...

    Interview with Anton Otulakowski

    Born and bred in Yorkshire, Anton, a former international schoolboy gymnast, caught the eye of Barnsley while playing for Ossett Town and joined them in 1975 for his first pro team. Whilst at Barnsley, Anton was also holding down a full time job as a surveyor with the then Gas Board and he...

    David Smith

    With the half-time drag out a former player goings-on, in the guise of centenary celebrations, surely Saturday's game is an ideal opportunity to expand that to former managers as well. With Dave Smith being a legendary manager of both ourselves and Plymouth the club should invite him to the...

    SUFC Cenetenary Roll of Honour

    Well, the Centenary Roll of Honour vote continues - in an extremely hard fought contest for the 1956-66 berth in the Roll of Honour, Sandy Anderson pipped Roy Hollis and Sammy McCrory to the post with 36% of the vote. Next up, it's 1966-76, which I suspect will be even more hard-fought...

    Centenary Merchandise

    Seeing as the club do now tend to notice (mostly) when the fans come up with some good ideas, what kind of merchandise would you hope would be available to celebrate our impending centenary season? I personally would really like a coffee-mug (not one of those horrible oversize latte things...

  15. Favourite manager for SUFC

    Sorry, I mean definitely not Barry Fry. Judas! How about Dick Bate or Wignall? Oddly I was never too keen on Dave Webb. Did the business a few times but always left on the pretext of major issues with the chairman/board. How bad was his judgement that he could return to the same ship so many...
  16. Fondly Remembered / Best Forgotten

    OK, blatently stealing the idea from WSC for the updated club history section on SZ : what would be your candidates for the following? Fondly Remembered Which player or manager brings you out in goosebumps when you remember his contribution to Southend United? Who do you think should be...
  17. Dave Smith

    Of all the bosses to run our beloved club, Dave Smith must indeed be GOD... for it was he, who remains the only manager to get us promoted as champions [4th Division 1980/1]. He's apparently still working at 70... down in Plymouth, running coaching courses for kids. His match will be held...
