sufc's greatest players

  1. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Derek Woodley v Errol Crossan 1:10 - poll added

    Right, you should know the score by now. Waffle on about how great they were and regale us youngsters with stories from yesteryear and then I add a poll.
  2. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Derek Bellotti v Colin Morris 1:9 - poll added

    Right, to distract us from this weekend's game we can instead wallow in nostalgia and consider the merits of goalkeeper Derek Bellotti and forward Colin Morris. Post your memories of both up and a poll will follow later.
  3. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Tony Bentley v Andy Ford 1:8 - poll added

    Our 8th clash of the opening round sees two full-backs(?) up against each other, so hopefully an easier one for Mick to make comparisons.
  4. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane John McKinven v Bill Garner 1:7 - poll added

    Vying to join Sammy McCrory and Peter Watson in the next round, we have John McKinven and Bill Garner. Your reminiscences please.
  5. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Andy Smillie v Roy Hollis 1:6 - poll now added

    Our sixth tie sees 1950s record scorer Roy Hollis take on 1960s/1970s midfielder Andy Smillie. Post your stories and arguments now.
  6. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Eddie Firmani v Eddie Clayton 1:5 - poll now added

    As voting draws to a close in McAlinden v McCrory, it's time to introduce our next tie which is one of the most eagerly anticipated clashes of the round, for me at least, as the two Eddies battle it out. As usual, I'll give you a chance to post up your memories, and before I add the poll.
  7. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Joe Sibley v Harry Threadgold 1:4 - poll now added

    Sibley v Threadgold. Post your stories and the poll will follow tomorrow. I'm sure BlueBloodUSA will be relieved that this isn't a night fixture for his man.
  8. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Sandy Anderson v Peter Watson Rd 1:2 - poll now added

    Our second tie is a rarity as defenders are rarely recognised, but it sees two defenders go against each other: the long-serving Sandy Anderson against the classy Peter Watson. Usual rules apply, I'll add a poll once I've given people a chance to put their cases forward and to wax lyrically on...
  9. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Jimmy McAlinden v Sammy McCrory Rd 1:1 - poll now added

    Our first tie of the Battle of Southend's Greatest Players (pre-1980) pits two internationals who played for the same country and I think both played for the club in the 1950s. They may have even been team-mates. So what made Jimmy McAlinden and Sammy McCrory so great? What memories do people...
  10. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Battle of Southend's Greatest Players (Pre-1980)

    Hopefully most of you are familiar with the format, but equally I hope that some of our more recent members join in the fun. Idea is you nominate your favourite player who played for the club before 1980. If someone has already taken your favourite, you go for your second favourite and so on...
