Fantabulous! Was Sammy the Shrimp with him as well ...................:bad pun:

 

[southend4ever]

Saw Frank Skinner and Adrian Chiles together in an M1 KFC, we'd been away somewhere north, Rotherham I think, and they'd played Doncaster - I think it was the weekend they won promotion back to the Prem.

Kevin Davies came to the Kassam to watch Darryl Play, we lost 2-0 that day, but Davies bird was FIT!

Macc away in the cup, me and Cyril Sneer shared a train carriage with a Daily Star page 3 bird - obviously link NSFW http://www.dailystar.co.uk/starbabes/13600/Suzie-Star-Babe/

Teddy Sheringham away to Dartford pre-season friendly.

Kevin Davies was also at Notts County v Southend (away stand with us shrimpers) back sometime between 2005-07.

Brian Johnson and his wife on Wolverhampton Station on the way to Wrexham in the mid 80's.

Michael Foot on the Northern Line Platform of Embankment Station (in the middle of a game of spot the ringer) with the Supporters Club Quiz Team in the early 80's. (Zero Points)

An injured Brian Little at Rotherham in the mid 70's when his brother was playing for us, got him to sign my match programme!

Gordon Strachan (with fit wife) at a reserve game v Oxford, one son playing for each team!

Sat next to old ginger nut chris evans in the south lower ! But at closer look it was mat harrolds dad dashman:omg::omg:

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

I saw Uri Geller queueing up to get in at Exeter City. Although he might have just made me think it was him and that it was actually an orange spot.

 

[Prawn]

Wasn't Uri and his good mate Michael Jackson directors at Exeter?

 

[Ron Manager]

Had Alan Ball approach me opposite The Fish House a few hours before a match once and ask where the bookies was. From memory he was manager of Southampton at the time and we were playing them in the cup shortly after so assume he was scouting us.

Not Southend but had a beer pre-match at a Brisbane game last season with the comedian Mark Watson who was touring here and came along to see the game.

 

[The Eternal Optimist]

I saw God and the the ghosts of Vic Jobson, John Lennon and Bobby Moore sharing a pint and prawn sandwich in an executive box. I was very drunk at the time so I could be mistaken.
