    The 1953 Floods

    I hope the following is of some interest, on a Saturday afternoon in 1953 Southend United played a poor game of football, the crowd had a good old moan and then went home totally unaware of the disaster that would hit locally in a few hours time. Saturday 31st January 1953 Southend United 1-0...

    RIP - Fred Titmus

    Sadly former England & Middlesex all rounder Fred Titmus has passed away aged 78. He was an England regular in the 60's & 70's, and IIRC he opened the innings on a few occasions, when his normal position would have been number 8 or 9. He also lost 4 toes in a boating accident on an England tour...

    Roots Hall Pitch

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the pitch at RH is probably in the worst condition that I can remember in a long time. I'm presuming that its like it is because of TefRons cost cutting exercise, but it could come back to haunt us, if we miss out on promotion/play offs. On at...

    Good column here from Steve Coogan. "As a huge fan of Top Gear. I normally regard the presenters' brand of irreverence as a part of the rough and tumble that goes with having a sense of humour. I've been on the show three times and had a go at their celebrity-lap challenge, and I would love to...

    So, another season bites the dust and it’s all over bar the fighting at the Wembley mud bath. As ever, ten months of football has served up more twists, turns and travesties than a Mail on Sunday honey trap and hopefully this should spread some light on the season just gone. Norwich Starting...
