    Bobby Moore

    Anyone else see the Bobby Moore hero documentary on BBC last night? Interesting trip down memory lane. One thing, they mentioned when Bobby Moore took over as our manager in 1984 we were in the third division. IIRC he took over in 84/5 after we'd already been relegated to the fourth division in...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith (2nd ballot)

    Up for election to the SZ Southend United Hall of Fame is manager Dave Smith. Smith came incredibly close last time, missing out by just 0.26%. Will he fare better at his second attempt? Here's what I wrote last time: ---------------------------------------------------- This poll is really a...

    Question Ian Dury & Southend United

    Just watched a concert on the Sky Planner recorded from earlier in the week re Ian Drury at Hammersmith in 1985. In it he mentions his friend Bobby Moore ('he didn't knick the bracelet' according to Ian) and he then goes on to mention to my surprise Southend United, wishing us all the best...
  5. Question Why was Harry Crawford at Boots and Laces today?

    On the OS there's a story about an army chap coming to Boots and Laces today to talk to the players in the build up to Camo Day. In the photo accompanying it (allegedly) taken today who's that in the number 20 shirt standing next to Sergeant Robert "Billy" Moore?

    D-Day has arrived - England v Slovenia

    Journalists and the pessimistic England nation have had their field days in the lead up to this match since the final whistle against Algeria. The England players and manager have had a chance to balls up their interviews and create more attention and build negativity around the team. Rumours...

    World Cup Diaries - your 'almost live' blogs

    'This is it!' - proclaimed Melba Moore on a joyous little single of yesteryear. I'm feeling upbeat that the World Cup opening day has finally arrived. Just got a bit of work to do this morning before I'm off for three glorious weeks of World Cup fever. I'd like to start a ShrimperZone World Cup...
  10. Photo Request: Bobby Moore at Southend

  11. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part Two

    Ok, here's the second part to my review of the League One season. Apologies for the delay, have been busy this past week. Brighton Quite how Brighton finished as high as 13th should pay great testament to the work of Gus Poyet since his arrival. Having narrowly avoided the drop last time out...

    World Cup Memories

    Strange as it may seem, I've been reminiscing once again. I was thinking about the England World Cup squad of 1970 and their number one hit, 'Back Home.' There they were on TOTP, all suited in black and wearing white shirts and black ties. We didn't have a colour telly then, so that's how it...

    Cut Terry Some Slack

    I still can't believe it's true. I still can't accept that the captain of Chelsea, nay, the captain of England, could ever act in this way. What would Bobby Moore say? He'd be shocked and rightly so. What kind of man cheats on his wife with Alicia Douvall? It's one thing to bonk your way...

    Ian Dury SUFC mention

    Just watching my Ian Dury live DVD from 1985, filmed at the Hammersmith Odeon. Nice bit of nostalgia. Anyway, just before the fourth song, Ian states - "Bobby Moore did not steal the bracelet, that is a slur on his character. Southend United (a few small cheers at this point), as me and Wilko...
  16. Bobby Moore & Vic Jobson

    Random find from the Observer about our one time manager and England legend Bobby Moore. Apologies if this has been posted before but it's interesting IMO. History will always consider Moore a managerial failure, and his record at Southend was unimpressive: relegated to the Fourth Division in...

    I Hate West Ham

    I hate reporting from Upton Park. I've had enough bad jobs in my life to know that I shouldn't whinge about this one, but I really can't stand the place. I'm no shrinking violet, I've done an away trip to Millwall, but that lot down Green Street are horrible. On Saturday, I heard one of them...
