Breaking News Adam Barrett Retires

[undercovershrimper]

I hope the club have done the decent thing and paid up his contract its the least he deserves

 

[Chairman Trigg]

One of the few who when he kissed the badge you knew he meant it not show.Also had that connection with the fans which is so rare.A 100% committed player who I will always have the best memories of.Was he seen as a threat to Brown earlier this season would seem to explain why he suddenly was frozen out.One of the SUFC greats of this era...Thanks Adam for the memories

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

All this season too far stuff must really sod him off being that it was Brown who convinced him to stay on another season.

Wish him all the best and hope he doesn't become a stranger to the club - would be a great ambassador for us.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Good luck Adam,top player and more importantly top man.

 

[Pubey]

Good idea - gives him more time to solve world hunger, locate the warchest, negotiate Brexit and work as Jason Statham's stunt double.

 

[RHB]

I think ORM should start a collection for Barrett.

 

[BrettieAngell]

I think ORM should start a collection for Barrett.

He'll be far too upset.

 

[Pubey]

I think ORM should start a collection for Barrett.

I think he should start a Barrett signs thread.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

A Barrett resigns thread, surely.

Tilson leads tributes as Blues legend Barrett retires

SOUTHEND United legend Adam Barrett has announced his retirement from the game with immediate effect.

More...

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Strange timing with Ferdinand injured and Inniss suspended.

maybe that brought things to a head - if not now for game time then not ever.

 

[* ORM *]

I think ORM should start a collection for Barrett.

Ha ha. I'm doing nothing controversial on this thread except acknowledging a great club servant and wishing AB all the very best.

 

[Strykr]

Thanks for everthing AB, many many amazing memories.

There's only one......

 

[Bobby dazzler]

A sensible decision from a true Southend Great !

 

[MK Shrimper]

All good things....good luck for the future Adam!

 

[Blues 'n twos]

True SUFC legend, perhaps a season too far, but that should not detract from the service he has given to the club. :thumbsup:

 

[Fairport]

Although he wasn't a great player you could always rely on 100 per cent from Adam and on that basis deserves to be called a club legend.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Don't know how to react. Probably won't see him ever again grace the Roots Hall pitch and I am absolutely gutted. Please Ron sort this man a testimonial!

All the best AB, never seen a player with more pride play for us than him.

Now I'm off to cry

 

[MK Shrimper]

To be frank a certain Kevin Maher is in front of Barrett for a testimonial.

 

[Pak Power]

To be frank a certain Kevin Maher is in front of Barrett for a testimonial.

Did Ron Pountney ever get one in the end?
