Question Who is our oldest ex-player?

[Uncle Leo]

This question occurred to me yesterday when sending a flippant tweet to Napster -can anyone name the oldest living ex-Southend United player?

 

[Gremlin]

Nope, I give up. Who is it?

Is Sandy Anderson still alive?

 

[Uncle Leo]

Nope, I give up. Who is it?

That's what I'm hoping to find out!

Nope, but I did see Bill Garner at Waitrose this morning looking as grey as me!

Right. As a 67 year old he won't be the answer but it is a start.

Any advance on 67?

Probably still not old enough, but Eddie Firmani is 82 and still going. I only mention Bill by the way because he used to play cricket for our evening league side.

Wow, is Bill only 67? The last time I saw him about was about 20 years ago and he looked 67 then :'(

Dickie Dowsett, 84.

His head is used for the Bournemouth badge.

Let's be thankful his name wasn't Headley Dowsett then.

I believe Errol Crossan is still alive and well living back n Canada, born 6th Oct 1930, making him 85 years old.

John(Jackie)Bridge is still around and lives in Southend he is 83(6/6/32) and like myself was from Great Wakering.

Bill Punton is 81

 

[MK Shrimper]

Can we include our own sprightly John Crickson?

John is still very much a player.
