    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb

    For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions. The opening words of the official club history are: "Other teams dreamt of Wembley, some hankered for the first division championship or a place in Europe - but Southend only ever wanted second division status." We'd...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Stan Collymore

    The next man up for election to the Southend United Hall of Fame is Stanley Victor Collymore. I think Stan might be the first man to divide opinion sufficiently to have a few no votes. After all, longevity is one of the criteria and Stan only graced a Southend shirt thirty-three times and...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 1 - Aberdeen Shrimper

    The life of an SUFC exile can be a lonely one at times - and one which is a difficult existence to understand for some. I thought by setting up this weekly thread, we would get the opportunity to get to know some of the exiled posters on SZ a bit better. This week, Aberdeen Shrimper goes under...

    All time hair XI

    Following on from BAG's defensive thread, I think its about time we have another all-time XI. Shane Westley is an obvious choice in central defence, with a haircut Wolves paid £150,000 for. Up front, my initial thoughts are David Crown's mullet and Ian Benjamin's afro.

  9. Most talented Blues player you've ever seen

    Based purely on talent, not necessarily on their utilisation of that talent, my top five would be: 1. Ricky Otto 2. Stan Collymore 3. Mike Marsh 4. Freddy Eastwood 5. Jonathan Hunt Special mentions to Ian Benjamin, who got better and better, and Gary Jones, who despite looking awful most of...

    On this day........

    Oh the memories....... Away in the FA Cup to Everton, lost 1-0 and did ourselves proud. I will never forget that bloody save that Neville Southall made to keep out Ian Benjamin in the second half, poor old Benji wheeled away in celebration only for Nev to pull off a ridiculous save. I think we...

  12. To all Shrimperzone readers

    As an avid reader and occasional poster on Shrimperzone I feel must apologise. In common with many other fans comments, my comments such as "I can't believe we've managed to sign Peter Clarke, this is a real coup" and "Prior is f***ing useless and must be dropped for Clarke immediately" and...

    100 Favourite SUFC Goals

    So, topic is quite simple. One goal each in a similar style to the other thread. It might be the quality of the goal or the significance. Perhaps it was just the randomness of the goal. Either way, put down the scorer, date, venue (H/A) and opposition as well as a justification of it. Obviously...

    Well done Freddy

    Congratulations to Freddy for scoring his 50th goal for the club on Saturday, let's hope there's plenty more to come. He also managed to match Ian Benjamin's feat from 1991, by scoring the goal that got us promoted to the second tier and then the first goal at that level. Well done...

    Memory Lane A Walk Down Memory Lane

    It was a bright Saturday morning as I jumped on the coach. Coach after coach left, all bedecked in blue and yellow (as it was then). Some of the kids were laughing excitedly, some were painting their faces. The older ones were trying not to show nerves. Attempting calm. I was 23, and me and mine...

  19. Memory Test

    OK - dust down the memory caps. Who scored the first Southend Goal you ever witnessed. For me I think it was Ian Benjamin at Brentford in 90/91...growing up as schoolboy in London, I didnt get to too many games before then and amazingly we didnt score in the first 5 games I went too! So -...

    Some of you hate him, a lot of you love him. But everytime I see Goater laying the ball unselfishly off for another, better placed player or getting moaned at off for not running it just takes me back to those heady days of the 90's when we had the mighty Ian Benjamin in our midst. IMO...
