So so underrated throughout his time in football, was superb for us in his two spells and very surprised he didn’t get a move to a big club in his career for me one of our top 5 keepers to play for southend United:Worthy:

Apparently the only reason he didn't was because of his height. At the time everyone saw how good Peter Schmeichel was and wanted a clone of him.

Yeah you could tell with the amount of crosses he came for that his height may have been the issue, he more than made up for it with his shot stopping ability.

I’ve yet to see shot stopper who comes close to his ability. If he’d have been 5 inches taller he’d have played for England.
 
DARRYL Flahavan remains proud of his part in the ‘golden period’ of Southend United – even if he was disappointed to depart.

You could even be right there,Ricey. The problem with that though is we have no idea what he would have been like catching or even punching crosses because he was never anywhere close.
