Unbelievable to think that the great 80/81 team had two forwards who played every game!
Bit different these days......

 

[Sensei Phil]

Brilliant post and some great names from the past!

I wonder if the likes of Ian Benjamin and Richard Cadette would have been ever present playing in these times.

Great memories of those two!

 

[londonblue]

Amazing that Arthur Williamson didn't miss a game for 4 seasons.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Murphy and Hyde appear to be missing from the list??

 

[Medway Blue]

Murphy and Hyde appear to be missing from the list??

It's ever present for starting 11s, not for John Gowens' room.

 

[bazzashrimper]

Murphy and Hyde appear to be missing from the list??

They were going to be in that team, but got injured in the warm up

Amazing that Arthur Williamson didn't miss a game for 4 seasons.

It is with great sadness that the club has learned of the passing of one of its truly great servants, Arthur Williamson.

It appears that winning, successful teams get fewer injuries, the ever present list seems to, largely, evidence that.
Little wonder that we have had no one in the list for many seasons .

I watched the tele football, chumps league last night, and as per most games Grealish got kicked and tripped, seemingly every 3 minutes; yet he must be aware that by calling out an injury he would lose his starting place and have to wait for a chance again.
SO not a problem for most of our squad.

Amazing that Arthur Williamson didn't miss a game for 4 seasons.

Half time orange and a roll up kept him going

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Strange that whilst I have a problem remembering our sides from recent decades Threadgold, Williamson, Anderson, Duthie, Stirling, Duffy, McKiven, Baron, Hollis, McCrory, Crossan. from the mid/late fifties, when I started watching the Blues, comes easily to mind. Don't know if it's 100% correct? Probably something to do with having a settled side during those years?

I think McGuigan was a winger rather than John McKinven who was a few years later.

Arthur Williamson Obituary

It is with great sadness that the club has learned of the passing of one of its truly great servants, Arthur Williamson.

www.southendunited.co.uk

Arthur Williamson....a typical 50's full back who early on in the game would attempt to put his opposing No.11 into the West Stand terraces just to say a freindly hello!

 

[Realist]

I thought the mid/late 90s had a few ever presents ? Keith Dublin ? Simon Royce ? Julian Hails ? I’m probably totally wrong though lol.
