SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark Pt II
Paul Clark was probably better remembered for his second spell at the club, so maybe it would be more apt to be elected on his second ballot. His first ballot saw him receive the second highest number of votes so far (only Stan has had more than the Viking's 88). Now I'm sure a factor in this...- Yorkshire Blue

SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - 5th round of nominations
You should know the rules by now. Paul Clark looks like missing out on the first ballot by the narrowest of margins, so will be amongst the favourites to be nominated as his supporters seek to right that wrong. With 3 nominations record scorer Roy Hollis might also feature, and I remain...- Yorkshire Blue

SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith
This poll is really a week or so too early. The date of this poll should be 01 May, because that is the date for which Dave Smith will forever be associated with the club, for it was on 01 May 1981 that his side claimed the club's first major trophy* with a 1-1 draw against Rochdale.

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...- Yorkshire Blue

Hall Of Fame
Firstly I'd like to point out that this is by no way a dig at the fine work being done in the official SZ Hall Of Fame threads. It's a great idea and I think the rules in place and the democractic process should ensure the right results. However I do find it strange that someone like Ricky...- Ron Manager

Next up for election to the Hall of Fame is Ricky Otto. Ricky Otto had it all: skill, flair and funny looking hair.

David Crown was my first footballing hero.

I suspect he was protecting me from the Dick Bate era. Fortunately the Bate spell was...- Yorkshire Blue

For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions.

Oliver Trigg was the man who kicked it all off. Literally. The time was six pm on 25 August 1906.

Trigg was given the honour of 'kicking off' in his capacity as chairman of The Southend...- Yorkshire Blue
