Southend United Hall of Fame

[Matt the Shrimp]

Well, folks... as predicted by quite a few, Southend's favourite son of Glasgow - Billy Best - won the vote for the SUFC Hall of Fame for 1966-76.

Billy is Best

Now the vote is being held for 1976-86 between:

*Dave Smith
*Ronnie Pountney
*Mervyn Cawston

Southend legends all three, but which one will make it into the Hall of Fame?  My guess would be "The Gaffer"... but we'll see.  Anyhow, voting etc. is done via the Offficial site, here:

Got to be DS.

Although Cawston's daughter is a cracker.

I think Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron Pountney might run Dave Smith close. Although I'll be voting for Dave Smith.

Very tough decision but I gave it to Ron.

3 great SUFC legends but Dave Smith gets my vote.

That is a tough one two of my favourite players of the era in Cawston & Ronnie.

However Dave Smith just about shades it.

Ron Poutney lives in Eastwood and went into painting & decorating when he retired.

Mervyn Cawston still lives in the Great Wakering area I believe?

Tough choice, but RP gets my vote.

Where's Alan Moody in that list??? What a disgrace!

 

[Firestorm]

As much as a rated Ron and Merv, its got to go to Smith for bringing us our first bit of silverware

Sorry about opening another thread on this subject, Matt. I have got so used to having to trawl through all the bleeding threads from manic obsessives about how many fooking season tickets the club have sold that I must have missed it!!

Yeah, but...






...is it 6,000 or 6,100?

There was no other choice was there

Lives just around the corner to me.

What a tough choice. I thought I'd make it easy and go for best hairstyle but that made the job no easier.

Ron just shades it for me over DS but a close call.

Dave Smith runs "soccer" schools in Plymouth. Check out the imaginatively-named website "Dave Smith Soccer ...
