An interesting piece has made its way onto the Shrimper Chit Chat - Should Southend United do anything in honour of Phil Hughes? e.g. clap in the 63rd minute. What do you think?
Agree with you here Muse. Took this news hard yesterday and today I still feel particularly gloomy and downbeat.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect us to hold any tribute for Phil Hughes in the same way I wouldn't expect the South Australia cricket team to commemorate the death of a fringe England footballer like Stewart Downing for example. I find the whole grief mongering bit that's quite present in football at the moment very bizarre. Minutes silence/applause are being banded around cheaper than England caps in the late 80s.

Read this on Facebook, just lovely!
As he walked towards the heavens gates, he stood there all alone and turned his face back to the world,and the country he had called home He saw the tear stained faces that spanned Australia wide for the little bloke from Macksville who tragically had died. He spun to face Saint Peter, with his cap and bat in hand he asked "Please don't let my friends and family suffer, just help them if you can." Saint Peter embraced the saddened man and held him strong and true, "They'll never be alone, my son, they'll forever still have you. Although you had to leave them, and that world you did depart, a piece of you forever remains in each of their sad hearts." As Hughes had turned to enter heaven through the stunning golden gate a voice yelled from the shadows, "Come over here now mate!" Bradman stood there grinning, with a bat and ball in hand. He put his arm around Phil's shoulder and said, "You're up to bat young man". RIP Phillip
