    Richard Fugl

    It is with a heavy heart that Geoff (shrimpfan) and I have to report the death of Richard Fugl (blue scorpion) last weekend aged 65. For those that don't know Richard here are a few details. Richard lived in the Park Street area originally (later Inverness Avenue not sure after that) and went...

    New quiz - assorted

    When Roots Hall was planned in 1955, what was the original intended capacity? The black seats in the main stand, introduced in the early 1990s, came from which club? Which former manager achieved the distinction of playing for three clubs in one season who were all promoted? Who cost more? Mark...

    Efe Sodje

    It looks like Sodje is returning to Moss Rose this week. He first joined the Silkmen in 1997 and has the distinction of scoring Macclesfield's first ever football league goal. Sodje has been at Bury for four and half years, making almost 200 appearances for the Shakers.

    Question DVD box sets of distinction?

    Any recommendations? I have just purchased the Mysterious Cities of Gold box set (all 39 episodes) for just under £18 quid on Amazon for the kids. Fantastic stuff and each episode is followed by a mini documentary so it's educational too!

    FA Cup Draw On 1 July

    1pm at FA Headquarters. Details of who our local sides get will be posted as soon as I get them (by the way it should be noted that a full Southend Manor first team squad were back for pre-season training last Thursday). Basildon United have had the dubious distinction of being mentioned in...

    Non brand crisps of distinction.

    Has anyone got any decent non-brand crisp recommendations? I am currently into Kolak Chilli and Lemon flavour crisps which can be found in the ethnic foods aisle in Tesco or the 99p shop on Canvey Island. Kolak do a number of other Indian inspired flavours and the curry/chutney ones aren't bad...

    Money Can't Buy Honour

    Footballers are a funny lot. Sometimes, it's like they have their own language. In their world an 'egg' or a 'nugget' means a foolish person, 'beans-on-toast' means the goalpost and 'I want to play Champions League football,' actually means, 'To hell with that, I want to earn more money in a...

    The coldest away ground you have ever visited

    Looking at our remaining fixtures reminded me of my last visit to Huddersfield. Can't decide if that was the coldest I have ever been or whether that distinction should go to MKD at the Hockey stadium, narrowly followed by this season's match. Any other contenders?

    Steve Anthrobus

    I believe he holds the distinction for the shortest ever Southend career, as he was with the club for less than one day. In the news
  11. Drum Lessons

    I know I mentioned this in another post but hey... If anyone is looking for drum lessons, I have a few vacancies going at the moment due to circumstances I won't bore you with. I'm young, enthusiastic and qualified (diploma with distinction in drums and musical performance) and have...
  12. Tilly, Spinner and Eagle

    Steve Tilson, Spencer Prior and Andy Edwards have now all been involved in three promotion campaigns with Southend (although in each case Eagle only played in a handful of games). Firstly, well done chaps! Secondly, do any other players share this distinction for Southend? Any from the...
