The Official Southend United Pilot⭐
In My Youth ( Mid 1960's ) I was a member of the Choir in the North Bank.
I am now in my Seventies and still going!
I used to go alone and meet up with all the other Southend United Nuts to cheer on the mighty Shrimpers every game.
None of them were my close personal friends. There must be others out there who Sang along with me.
Who are you? I would love to know where you are now.
I can Recall one of the main Leading Singers was a very Tall Guy who had the Loudest Voice in Essex!
He owned a White Van and I remember being invited to follow the Blues Over the Easter Weekend - Away to Tranmere Rovers and Stockport County.
On Route we called in on Chester City Training ground and cheered on the Blues training there.
We were in Division Four and going well in the top six, Stockport were Top of the League.
The games were on 24th March 1967, Away to Tranmere Rovers, Gate was 12,701, We Won 2-1 (Great Sing Song that Day) Colin Flatt scored both I seem to remember.
The other game was on 26th March 1967 to Table topping Stockport County, Gate was 9,024. We lost 4-1 ( Well beaten that day by a better team, Still Sung Though!).
I am looking Forward to your replies.
