Barrett to retire at the end of the season

[Mick]

Sorry, Mick I shouldn't have altered that in that way.

No problem.

Less of the boyhood please he is West Ham

Legend player but don't over play it

Wash your mouth out.

Barrett is a Shrimper.

Barrett is not a true Southend fan. I didn't see him off his nut at Swindon away with his top off, back the game not caring about the score and shouting abuse to the home fans. That's what real supporters do isn't it ;-)

I make the ****** sign at coaches of away fans at cuckoo corner.

Sometimes you need to step up and be the 12th man.

With that kind of commitment , you could be one the 1st 11 men...

Are you hungry?

You could play up top...

Give that man a statue outside FF alongside Corr and Deegan.

Really? :stunned: I thought Southend had always been his club.

Aparrently so, still a playing legend though

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

4 posts so far suggesting adam joins the coaching staff. Other recent posts have suggested: Mark Gower, Kevin Maher, Billy Best!, to name but a few. How bigger backroom staff do we need!?:facepalm:

He is a legend for me in the time I have supported Southend. No one in my time As a fan has showed the amount of passion and dedication to the club whilst in a Southend shirt than Barrett. I'm so glad he is back with us so we can give him a great send off and hopefully he will help us with promotion. Like others I do hope he gets a role at the club because the guy bleeds blue.

Heroes don't wear capes, they wear armbands

 

[TrueBlue]

Has he expressed an interest in coaching us?

Nope, he was a W*** H** fan as a kid.

And then a trainee at Orient.

But he's opted to retire a Shrimper:thumbsup:

We all make mistakes as kids, thats how we learn

 

[BrettieAngell]

Big shame, hope he stays on in some capacity.

Most importantly he went to Belfairs!. After the Wrexham game at the Millenium Stadium, he looked up, saw our 'Leigh Boys' Union Jack flag, and gave the thumbs up!.
'Barrett is a Leigh boy'.

See Mick. I never edited the original post here but it works perfectly. :smile:

And on a more serious note here is where I have ALWAYS stood on AB.

I think we can all agree he is exceptionally passionate about his football. But with all the passion came a one footed defender who was often either playing the opps onside or wrong side of his man and spent most of his time cuddling forwards to death. It was these deficiencies that led to last ditch 'heroic' defending. Never a leader and often carried by his defensive pairing. He did offer an attacking option seemingly not offered by our current defence.

True I was never his greatest fan but someone earlier posted the term icon and I'd be happy to go along with that.

 

[Big Bad Barry Corr]

I have always loved AB and always will. Seems a strange signing by Brown in hindsight though as he seemingly doesn't now want to play him.

Agreed. All very well spouting the leg end stuff but it's all about promotion out of this god awful division - good luck Adam but if you can't contribute then rather you didn't make the return.
