Buster, after all he gave his name to a rapper.
For me it must be
John ' You all right lad ' Lattimer.
As well as Physiotherapy served SUFC so well many capacities over a number of years.
I saw him personally on a number of occasions for various injuries and although some times painful he sorted me out and even got me fit to run in Southend Marathon when my GP said it was not advisable. Scouted for Liverpool as well at one stage so had loads of tales to tell and a visit to him was always interesting.
RIP

Expected to see Latimer's name up there myself - it'd be him for me.

John Stannard must be good if he got Freedman and Barnard "fit" enough to play.

Didnt Gowens nick loads of stuff before he went to Grays? Erm, allegedly.

I believe John Gowens "relieved" (let's say) a number of our players of body parts which were presumably then off sold on the black market.
How many players can you remember who were quoted either on the website or in the programme/Echo by Johnny "(the real) Healing Hands" Gowens as being out for a week/or two/even a month & were never seen again?
Precisely! You won't recall them as Gowens kept them imprisoned at Boots & Laces (or Bits & Limbs as it was known at the time) until the memory of them completely faded.
One of the very few to have remained in the vaguest of memories is Julian "Jinky" Hails. Off with a broken toe nail for a few minutes of a game, out for a week according to JG, never seen again but parts of him rumoured to have been last spotted rotating on a kebab spit somewhere in Leicester (that'll teach him for scoring a hat-trick!).
Missing. Have you seen this man?
Strange but true (allegedly). :sherlock:
