Famous(ish) people who follow Southend United.

There have been a couple of threads on here recently where Colchester's stadium has featured along with Elton John. Whilst Elton is not a Col Ewe fan (not many are), it got me wondering how many famous/well known people follow, or pretend to follow the Blues.

The only name I can think of presently is Terry Alderton, but there must be others, surely? Not sure where this thread may go, but if there are enough ‘names’ around, what’s the chances of a concert/show at the Hall, I wonder?

So come on, who knows what or who?

Alison Moyet is the only other obvious one which springs to mind. Think Phil Jupitus has been seen at games although pretty sure he's a Spammer.

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

I think Amy Winehouse was a Shrimper, or at least her Dad was.

 

[The Watermill Wino]

Helen Mirren, Westcliff girl? Not forgetting TrueBlue. :)

Piers Hewitt, drummer with indie rock band The Boxer Rebellion

Who's that other comedian, little skinny bloke with mad black hair who wears makeup. Has been on soccer AM wearing a blues scarf? Russell someone? Kane, maybe? Anyway, he's a shrimper..

 

[Ricey]

Wasn't there a rumour that Phill Jupitas is a shrimper?

 

[southend-mad.94]

Russell Kane the comedian is a Southend fan!

 

[ol blue eyes]

Certainly seen Phil Jupitas and more recently Terry Alderton at home games, also from the sporting world (Tennis) the Lloyd brothers John and David. At away games I have even seen Paul 'Wino' Marshal and on the rare occasion Phil Cox! :stunned:

 

[ol blue eyes]

Oh I nearly forgot another legend.....Dagenham Kev!

Phil Mitchell, bass player with Dr. Feelgood can often be seen in the West Stand.

I've seen Phil Cornwell (DJ Dave Clifton of Radio Norwich/Alan Partridge fame) on the phone outside the club shop a few times

... But he also hosts a spurs podcast so he's definitely a floater.

My son and his mates bumped into the actor who plays Simon's dad in the Inbetweeners in the away end at the Brentford replay last season. He spotted them trying to take a sneaky pic. and offered to have a proper photo done with them!

I once saw Phil Gridelet outside a pub before a game*.






*FAOD he wasn't actually playing. Also when I say game, it was a major cup final. Matt the Shrimp and Chris Powell were amongst his entourage.

I saw major Hollywood star Kevin O'Callaghan* watching quite a few games in the early 90s.

He was standing watching from what must have been some sort of VIP enclosure as was standing so close to the touchline he was virtually on the pitch. I was hoping the ball would once go to him, but it never did.

I think he might have been there watching his fellow Hollywood A-Lister Andy Ansah who was playing at the time for us. Ansah also once brought along some guy whose name escapes me from Dream Team.
