I have a Southend United 'Go with Sammy Shrimper' (blue print on white felt material) triangular car pennant from about 1969 hanging in our spare bedroom.
 
Signed and framed shirt from Lincoln play off final plus Paul Brush's anorak he wore at the match. Treasured possessions. COYBB
 
Interestingly I have a very recent souvenir, got it from the ref yesterday before the game. It was his ability to get any important decisions correct.

I told you to wait until after the game before you took that! Bloody hell, do you never listen?

After a dismal day I got round to opening a couple of boxes of my old SUFC programmes, and other tat, which have been in the loft for more years than I can recall.

One item I had forgotten I still had (thought my mum had chucked it when I left home around 25 years ago) was a Wembley Trophy football, signed by the 1980-81 Division 4 winning squad. I remember this match so clearly, and the players throwing signed balls into the crowd. I was at the game with my dad and grandad, we were playing a friendly against Wolves, who were a leading club back then. I remember standing on the West stand terrace, and catching Ron Pountney's eye - he aimed one of the balls directly at me with a firm throw, to which the then 11 year old wannabe Southend No.1 caught instinctively as the surrounding supporters shouted "oi that's mine!" to which my dad then grabs and declares actually it's my sons and shoves the ball up his jumper. So, had it ever since.

Having spend it's life in lofts, sheds and garages it's seen better day and most of the signatures have faded. I can still make out Dave Smith, Mervyn Cawston, Derek Spence, Tony Hadley, Terry Gray, Dave Cusack, Ron Pountney and Steve Yates.

Am sure they are all there somewhere...

Anyone got any interesting SUFC memorabilia hidden in lofts or cupboards?

I always thought Pountney looked a bit dodge, the glass eye explains it though!! :smile:
 
I have mannequins dressed in my favourite players kits.

Nile Ranger is by the front door to deter burglars.
 
Has anyone got a SUFC silk scarf from the 70s ?
Just checked yes still got one this was from about early 70's this one is blue with the badge printed all over it in white. I did also have another with the same design but white with blue badge all over it.
Also does anyone remember the car sticker that was about in the 60's, it was blue with white wording about 10" x 2" approx? and said something like this "SUPPORT THE BLUES" but the UP was larger(as in UP THE BLUES), also think the badge was on it some where in the middle but struggling to quite remember???
 
Remember that sticker well.As for the silk scarf todays kids don't know what they're missing being able to wear it through the belt holes of your jeans... How cool did we look !
