The Barry Corr interview.

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Horses for courses springs to mind. The moans on here when we signed him. He had just played for Exeter and scored only 3 in 34 appearances. But he came here, loved the people, loved the fans, and loved the club. Everything clicked, and he produced his best form. It turned out he was just the striker we needed. Great in the air, and great on the ground. Best of luck to Barry when he starts his Managerial career. I think he will be a good Manager. Again, one of the unsung heroes under Paul Sturrock that could have gone to other clubs where he knew he would be payed, but still came to Southend, and backed Paul Sturrock.

BBBC.

Corr , Otto ,Eastwood or Sir Stan in the same team up front = awesome and fearsome

 

[gatecrasher]

Loved Big Barry, very much like Constantine before him, poor scoring record, but just clicked. The work Sturrock did was miracle level, will always be thankful to him also.

 

[Liam AAS]

I LOVE HIM

 

[Leeboy]

Yup I remember a few moans and groans when we signed yet another perma-injured journeyman striker.

It is funny how it just 'clicks' at the right club for certain players.

Corr was decent for the club no doubt but I would not put him in the same category as the other 3

 

[PIERS]

I think the Sturrock Corr would have done well with us in the Tilson days

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Could listen to him reading the phone book

Love this fella. Loved his work. We could do with a Corr mark 2 to get us out of this league.

I remember the game when he came on as sub first game back after a long time out with a serious (knee?) injury. Scored of course.

You mean fans moan about us signing players? I can't believe that would ever happen

 

[Pak Power]

scored at Wembley, nothing wrong with the goal

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

What a ****ing man

 

[shrimpled]

There’s very few Southend teams in the last 20 years that Barry Corr wouldn’t have improved. One of my all time favourites.

 

[shrimper4life123]

What a player! One of my all time favourites. Was lucky enough to catch his matchworn shirt he threw into the crowd after the JPT semi against Orient.

Took it last season to a Cambridge match to be signed. Good to see him doing well and hope to see him back in some capacity one day!

And it will click for one of our forwards this coming season. I don’t care who but I would love it (LOVE IT) if it happened to be Walker.

 

[Strike Force]

Remember when he didn’t take a penalty in the play off final despite being the main penalty taker for the team

 

[TrueBlue]

#barnabluegetsitswrongagain

Hahah that brought back memories Kev!

 

[leeblue]

I still say that goal against orient is one of if not the most pandemonium infused celebrations i have been involved in. It was a cold night, i had my big coat on a jumper and a t shirt.....the t shirt was torn during the goal celebrations in TBV, honestly i dont know why but the scenes/limbs for that goal were bananas.
