Evening echo.....

[Mad Cyril]

Have you or your friends ever been featured in the Evening Echo and if so, how embarrassing was the story?

(Note, birthday greetings from your mum do not count).

I am proud to say I have been mentioned in court report three times for assorted motoring offences and have also had a full page spread in the sport section when I was 14 with the headline 'Trophy time for Tyler'.

 

[Leeboy]

Had my photo in there when I won a competition - first prize a metal detector, age 12.

Followed that up with a court appearance date, age 20.

I had my picture in the Barking and Dagenham Post, when I was 6/7 when me and some other kids got certificates off the Mayor of Barking. Does that count?

When we won promotion at Peterborough, me and my brothers were in a picture that was in the Echo. We were standing right at the front of the stand, in a gateway, in full Southend gear and right in the middle of the picture!

My younger brother has been in the paper recently on the opinions page and my wife's grandfather was in the Echo only a month or so ago in a story relating to Nasser Hussain.

My glory will always be having my name printed in the Sun though! My friend won the lottery, git, and i was interviewed by a mass of reporters outside his house, they're a bunch of t***ers, what they printed in the paper was nothing like what i said! Journalists hey!

My mate, Nick, was interviewed by More! magazine about what would you do in this situation. When I read it, I knew he never said that. He even claims they changed what he said as well.

Is the Barking and Dagenham post the Evening Echo?

If you want to boast about your 'achievement' start your own thread..........

Bloody hell, calm down.

Sorry......

oh yeah, forgot about when we did the Caravan-Dwellers from the rock in the FA Cup replay - big piccy in the back pages of myself and a few of the Youths

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Nope. Never been in the Echo so far as I'm aware.

For those who have passed through Canary Wharf in London, you may have seen the local paper there called "The Wharf".

Well, I was the main story on Page 3 of the Wharf... dressed as Harry Potter.

'Harry Potter Sues Weightw*tchers' ?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Had a pic in the Echo when I was 12 - doing a sponsored walk down the pier with some other Westcliffians, raising money for our school exchange with School 231 in Moscow, to pay for some of the less well-off Russki kids to come over...

Had my name in a couple of times for scoring for Southend Rangers... not sure if they still give scorers' names?

No they've banned all that now, Spiffy. And they dont even give names of players in photo's anymore either.

when did you play for them Spiff?

I played for their B team in 1990 but gave it up cos I was missing too many SUFC games!

My Mum put an engagement announcement in....funnily enough when I got engaged.......other than that just the odd picture of me in the crowd at SUFC matches.
