Great early pics of Roots Hall, I do not remember to "North Bank" being known as the "Bob-a-Nob" stand.

Great early pics of Roots Hall, I do not remember to "North Bank" being known as the "Bob-a-Nob" stand.

In all the seasons I stood in there, certainly saw & met plenty of 'n*bs!!.

Appearances and goalscorers for 1919-1820 were:

Appearances: Marshall 44; Reid 42; Wileman 41; J. Young 40; Jones 39; Burrill 34; Bollington 32; Leahy 28; Evans and Woodward 26; Nicholls 23; Upex 18; Allen 15; Bridgeman and Emblem 13; Sands and Walden 11 each; Frost 8; Emery 7; Hill 3; R. Young and Liddell 1 each, (44 in all).



Goalscorers: Burrill 16; Wileman 8; Jones 6; Upex 5; Frost 4; Nicholls and R. Young 2 each; Bollington, Bridgeman and Walden 1 each, and 1 own goal (47 in all).

In the picture middle front row is Henage Wileman, who had played for Southend before the first world war, he was captain for a while, After he finished playing he fell on hard times, and sadly committed suicide, firstly by drinking a bottle of bleach and then in agony threw himself off a bridge over the River Trent in Nottingham and drowned. A sad end for anyone.

I don't know whether this one has already been posted, but its on the official site associated with the SUEPA article on ex keepers.

This is the squad for season 1963-64: the first season I was allowed to regularly go on my own and also an FA Cup defeat at Yeovil in round one - some things stay the same, eh? BTW, always loved than butcher's striped kit, and wished a retro shirt of the same was available.

The main stand at Grainger Road (Sutton Road) Stadium. Southend's ground from 1934 to 1955 and the move to Roots Hall.

Stood in there a few times at the dog racing back in the early 80's.

A good crowd for this last game of the season in 1994 seeing as we finished 15th and had only pride to play for. Unusual as we played our first game that season on a Sunday at home against Notts Forest, and finished our last game at home on a Sunday against Derby (This one). Chris Powell was Player of the season. Andy Ansah was such a good player when in this form.

The opening game was played on a Sunday as that was on TV. We were on TV the first two Sundays of the season as the second Sunday we were away at Millwall for the opening of their new stadium. We christened it with a 4-1 win.

2005-06 Season. Friday 27th January. Gutteridge and Gower the scorers. We of course end up as Champions in League One. Despite the look, it will play if you click it, worth watching. If my memory serves me right, the belly celebration was because someone said Luke Gutteridge had a beer belly. Some players called him Horace(his middle name) I was told. Mark Gower was brilliant that season.

When we were very bad. 15th Oct 1988. Very brief this one and only shows the goal from the inconsistent Martin Ling. Finished 2-1 to Southend with Crown getting the other goal with a penalty. A measly 3200 crowd and we are relegated from the 3rd Division. How about that tackle, cough.
