  1. Question SUFC Hall of Fame

    Anyone up for opening in partnership both www based and possible actual memorabilia & Hall of Fame ? I would be interested in a co-operative type of arrangement amongst supporters who can each add their own contributions, on a non-profit basis.

    Memory Lane SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - - Sid Broomfield has passed away RIP Sid

    When I suggested we should have on SZ a Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United, I wanted us to recognised those individuals who helped build the club. In Sid Broomfield's case he did this literally. Sid Broomfield might not be the most famous name in Southend United's...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Chris Powell

    Fighting Talk on Radio 5 Live has a segment called Defending the Indefensible where pundits or comedians (note Mark Lawrensen the two are separate) are given an outrageous statement that they have to somehow justify for 30 seconds of airtime. Now I've always fancied my chances of playing devil's...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - 1st round of nominations

    For a bit of fun and to honour our club's history, I propose starting a SZ Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United. The words legend and great are bandied about a bit too often for my liking, I'd like our Hall of Fame to be exclusive and so that only the elite make it. It...

    Mark Gower appreciation thread

    With the end of Mark Gower's Southend career seemingly imminent, I thought I'd pose the question where does he rank in Southend's history. He's made 243 appearances, scoring 41 goals. He's appeared in all 3 of the club's Cardiff's finals, has a third division title winner's medal (one of only...

  13. Xfm's inaugural hall of fame line-up

    Over the last few weeks Xfm have had a totally open vote to get a shortlist of 5 bands/artists to head up their first ever 'hall of fame' type of event. The suggestion was to vote for the 1 band/artist you think has shaped the music that sums up the station (modern alternative music, in...
  14. ShrimperZone Hall of Fame

    I know we did this last summer but we've had a lot of new "members" of the SZ community join us in the last 12 months and it would be interesting to see if opinions change. Vote now for the goalkeeper who should be voted to the "SZ Hall of Fame". WS

    Tony Bentley- an apology

    In an article in February 2003 in our Hall of Fame special for the best ever right-back, we announced that Tony Bentley had sadly passed away. We have been recently informed that this is not the case at all, and we are delighted to hear that he is actually coaching a women's Premier League...
