Does it matter if I haven't seen them play?? As I only started coming to Southend in the mid 90's there are obviously older players that I am aware of only by name and reputation and would have to rely on the opinions of some of the Zones more elderly contributors!!

Anyone remember Warren May? must have been in either the late 70's or very early 80's

 

[Napster]

Warren May was hopeless. Early 80s.

A few more.

Ian McKechnie
Ian McNeill (was at junior school with his son)
Malcolm Slater

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Jimmy McAlinden is a glaring omission, but I've nabbed him for my XI.

Sammy McCrory is must up front.

Mervyn Cawston v Billy Moore v George McKenzie is an interesting battle.

Not for me, Merv the Swerve is the best ever GK we've had imo, bar none.

 

[Just Who Is the 5 O'Clock Hero]

unbelievable you all forgot Keith Mercer

 

[canveyshrimper]

unbelievable you all forgot Keith Mercer

...and he was a better keeper than John Keeley. :unsure:

 

[jamesmut2000]

That's a great shout! Hadn't got that far down my list yet!!

 

[Rob Noxious]

...and he was a better keeper than John Keeley. :unsure:

Yes - he made a great save from a free-kick in the game you're referring to. Had Keeley got sent off prior to Keith donning the jersey?

 

[Rob Noxious]

I liked Big Barrel-Chested Keith a lot. He had a good turn and volley on him. I always felt that if he had three chances, he would score one of them. I think he lived in Eastwood when he was with us - used to see him playing tennis in the park there with Ron Pountney in the close season.

Yup, Canvey's finest obligingly got himself sent off.

 

[Firestorm]

[jamesmut2000]
