I heard differently from Steve Thompson himself. He said his partner was seriously ill and he had to move back up North.

I heard the same, but the miserly contract Vic offered made up his mind. I read somewhere that if the contract was good he would have moved his partner down here.

9th November 1991 v Swindon. Unusual one this because you have a radio report first, then the goals at 1.10. Also includes a brilliant goal from Brett Angel, and a penalty miss that made it 8 out of the last 9 penalties missed. That has to be a record for all clubs.

3rd March 1990 v Carlisle. Part 1 and part 2 this one.
Unusual because Guy Butters scores two goals and Carlisle get two men sent off. A very poor crowd of 3465 for this one, considering it was near the end of the season and we ended up getting promoted in 3rd place.

Further to the table above, my little bit on Lot Jones:
BILLY “LOT” JONES
Lot Jones had signed for Manchester City in 1903, the following year the club was investigated by the Football Association for making additional payments to players, a practice which was illegal but common place. An example was made of Man City the manger banned for life and 17 players were fined and suspended which gave Lot a chance to break into the first team. He stayed with Manchester City till the outbreak of the First World War making 279 appearances and scoring 69 goals.
After the war he signed for Southend and was quite a major signing by manager Mr E Liddell, at a time when the club was in danger of not being resurrected. Jones was capped 20 times by Wales 18 while with Manchester City but two whilst with Southend.
ANOTHER CAP FOR LOT JONES
The Welsh International Selection Committee have again honoured Lot Jones by selecting him for the inside left position in the forthcoming match Ireland v Wales at Belfast on February 16th
From the Southend Standard 29th January 1920
Lot Jones played in the Welsh win over England, and Jimmy Evans the Southend half back was the first reserve, so we nearly had two internationals in the same team.
After only one year we lost his services as below;
Supporters will generally be sorry to hear that Lot Jones will sever his connection with the club at the end of the present season. He has received the appointment of manager of the Aberdare club. He has been a good and loyal servant of the club since last September and has bought honour to Southend by his International caps .
From Southend Standard 22 April 1920
Home International Championship 1919-20
It was the first Tournament since the War and many players had been killed, wounded or retired, the first round of matches both ended in draws. In the second round Scotland and Wales both won, Wales claimed the Tournament when England defeated Scotland 5-4 in an exhausting match. Wales had four points, Scotland and England both finished with three points, Ireland last with only two.

I hope no one is offended by this photo which I found on another site!
There are a number of Blues connections and a very young world cup winner! I found it when googling my first favourite player. It probably dates from about 1960. He is the second player from the left in the back row. There is a co signing in front of him _ one to the right and another connection on the far right of the front row even though he did not play for us !

Southend v Wolves goals 1996-97 season. Sunday 13th October. The kit was the famous custard splat. We were relegated under Ronnie Whelan. He liked a pint or a lot more. It was one of those useless striker seasons. The top scorer only finished with ten.

At last somebody admitting they weren't at the game! Judging by the amount people that claim they were there, I was a full house!! Well done!

I was definitely one of the 1281 present-I recall that by far and away the best goal was scored near the end by their sub Dale Banton,ex West Ham!Two rounds later we beat Torquay with 7 second half goals to nil.

This brought back such happy memories! Newcastle were dreadful in defence but not too bad coming forward; I remember Chris Powell making an astonishing double clearance of the line.
