Still Loves Emma Bunton. Roy McDonough is God!
I still remember thinking who is this nobody we've just spent a lot of money on. Then we played Notts County. Memorable FA Cup run as well

So it's early morning, I'm having a cup of tea and thinking, 'I wonder what's on SZ since yesterday?'. Thank you Stan for starting my day off perfectly with a great post from a SUFC legend and not one poster having a moan as a result.
I would love it if you walked onto the Roots Hall turf for one more time before a game, or better still, at half time, for us to show our appreciation. Or if you don't fancy the fuss, just come back, and watch a game.
Take care Stan. Best of luck for the future, and thanks again.
Hey everyone,
Been a long time since I posted on here, and I've a confession to make.
In the darkest of days before I managed to start broadcasting and making a second career after football, to be honest there were well documented times when I didn't feel I was going to be around much longer.
So coming on SZ, remembering happy times, simple times too without the fanfare, the circus and the hype, often very late in the night ( I didn't have a job!!), more than kept me going.
I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea, even on a partisan Southend forum, but at least people were kind enough here to speak honestly, and appreciate some of my posts about the club.
Southend United reminds me daily of what the essence of football is, and is sadly lost forever seemingly in the Premier League, namely community spirit, pride, fun and genuine appreciation over expectation, and to me that means the world and always will.
I don't get down enough to Roots Hall, and I really should at least pop for a drink in my own bar! To everyone on the forum, it was one of the happiest periods of my life so far to play for your club, so wanted to thank you for the continued support I get from Shimpers on social media, and I'll always be extremely proud to be a Shrimper.
Good luck for the season, hope I live to see us do a Bournemouth someday.
Stan
You won't find many people on here who have a poor opinion of you. Comfortably the most talented player to wear our shirt.
Freddy's debut was magnificent. But Stan's was electrifying. I remember one game he just got the ball from Dave Martin and ran with it with determination before hitting it with such power and accuracy it was mindblowing.
Never got to see you in the flesh at the hall mate as was before my time(as a shrimper) but seen many videos. Good to see you remember the little guys like us.
Now down to business... Any chance of you getting the boots back on for a season? We're struggling up top a tad at the moment.

Billy Best does not need to post on here to remind people who he was :smile: .Glad I picked Stan for my "player in his prime" choice now.
Bet Billy Best wont post on here :smile:
