1,000th Post & Little Havens
Thought I would commemorate my 1,000th post by letting you know that we at Friends of Katie have now raised just over £23,100 for Little Havens. As you know this is in no small part to the generosity of SZ Zoners and we will always be grateful for all that you did. Little Havens have told us...- Hawkwell Blue

Tevez - The Big Girl
Heroes can be hard to find in modern football. It's difficult to feel any connection to a teenage millionaire when he signs a contract large enough to fund a hospital wing before he's even scored his 20th Premier League goal. It's impossible to respect a man who passionately expresses his desire...- Slipperduke

SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark
The Viking That alone might be enough words for many on here to vote yes to Paul Clark, but if you weren't fortunate enough to have witnessed his crunching tackles and never say die attitude, I suppose I should give a lengthier bio.

SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ricky Otto
Next up for election to the Hall of Fame is Ricky Otto. Ricky Otto had it all: skill, flair and funny looking hair.

SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb
For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions.

SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Oliver Trigg
Oliver Trigg was the man who kicked it all off. Literally. The time was six pm on 25 August 1906.

Trigg was given the honour of 'kicking off' in his capacity as chairman of The Southend...- Yorkshire Blue

Standing at the cross-roads - read this Ron Martin!
I think the club is currently at a cross roads.

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.

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.

It must be hard being Sam Allardyce.
