Southend Engimas....

Trevor Fitzpatrick... Always wanted him to score - but never did, great in the air (with his elbows).

Ah Mike we would have done but I believe we got it from our roving reporter Ed Beavan giving him a ring last year sometime!

Erm ... and who got the phone number?! Seeing as I know Francisco's brother very well here in Spain! :p

Paul Byrne- imagine how good he could have been with any kind of work/fitness ethic.

Jimmy Corbett- ditto to some extent.

John Neilsen.

and for the way his career has gone since leaving us, Leo Roget.

My top 5 Southend 'enigmas'

1 - Stephen Broad
2 - Neil Jenkins
3 - Jimmy Corbett
4 - Gareth Risbridger (agree Mike...I remember his 1 appearance (or minute!) and I am sure he was rated as a huge prospect by Webby?
5 - Ben Smith

Incidentally, I think John Neilsen was class...I also believe that we should have done everything in our power to keep Regis Coulbalt at the club...thought he was one of the bright sparks in an otherwise horrific period for the club.

Apologies Mike, Ed just told me!

Now, if you want to do an interview with Kenny Brown (loanee from 1996) then I can arrange it as he's director of football at CD Javea ...

;)

Elgar now there was an enigma if ever there was one

 

[Andy_S]

Tes Bramble.

He wasn't an enigma, just a misunderstood footballing God. ;)

Adrian Clarke - Very talented, had played in Arsenal's first team a few times and showed his potential with a few great goals. However, he seemed to lack the hunger needed for lower league football and was released by Alan Little. Kevin Maher nearly experienced the same fate yet look what happened to his career with us, perhaps if Clarke hadn't been released by Little he would've achieved similar success in a Southend shirt.

 

[Sherif H]

Adrian was a thoroughly decent bloke aswell.

 

[Groyne Strain]

Derek Spence. I always felt there was more to come from him than what he showed for us. Good player but ...... ahh, so frustrating, could have genuinely great for us.

Wasn't Declan Perkins hailed as a bright young gun?

If so the gun rusted and fell out of service pretty quick!

Does Clarkey still work at Icons with SlipperDuke?

His sister made my "young gun" rather bright....... ;)

ooo-er Glasgow

I hope she was better at that than he was a football :D

You obviously aren't aware of who she is?
One of the actresses out of the House of Eliott, crap programme, nice flange!

 

[SUFC_Al]

indeed I was not aware of that fact.

House Of Elliot? Have very vague recollections but certainly not a regular watcher!
