Vote for who is more of an SUFC legend in your opinion, poll closes in 48 hours.
Chris Powell
1st in Group C with 102 votes >> 35-2 Peter Butler >> 26-6 Alan Moody
(Supported by blues r best the attacking left back is a legend. End of really. But is he the greatest? He spent 6 years at Roots Hall in the 90's and made 248 appearances, finding the net 3 times. In six years at the club Powell made 288 first team appearances. In November 2004 a BBC poll of Southend United supporters voted Powell their all-time cult hero. One fan described him as "A very skilled, left-footed defender, who could quite possibly be considered one of the nicest men in football, a true gent." In January 1996 Powell moved to Derby County for a fee of £750,000.)
Steve Tilson
1st in Group B with 98 votes >> 46-1 Peter Taylor >> 61-18 Billy Best
(We all know what Shrimpled's man has done as manager and that could win him this competition alone but he also spent 10 years as a Southend player from '88 to '98 making 239 appearances before returning in 2002 for 2 years as player coach to make 4 more appearances and scored a total 26 goals for the Shrimpers. Tilson began his footballing career with non-league side Witham Town before being signed by then Southend manager David Webb. During the 1990s, Tilson appeared in just under 250 matches and played in the side that won two consecutive promotions in the early part of the decade. Tilson played continually for Southend, except for a loan spell at Brentford, until 1998, when he signed for Canvery Island.)
