Famous(ish) people who follow Southend United.

Wasnt it once rumoured David Beckham followed Southend as a kid

Yes, but it was April 1st.

Well Brooklyn played at Roots Hall Sunday, and 'Posh was there' so could be true

I'm sure I remember Mark Pougatch, 5live presenter, talking about being a Southend fan when he was at bbc Essex..

Neil Harman - The Times tennis correspondent.

One of the kids from Busted is a Shrimper, forget which one (James is it, must be as a quick Wiki check says he's from Rochford).

 

[Uncle Leo]

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.

Massive Spurs fan. We can't claim him.

Any Essex cricketers?

A 'Busted' concert at Roots Hall, that would be apt!!

I have seen Sean Hughes in the car park before a game, though I think he was waiting for Phil Jupitas.

For pete's sake it's Phil Jupitus. Can people not spell on SZ?

Pete's.

Cheers!

Actually he spells it Phill Jupitus.

 

[Tokyo Blue]

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

There was also a rumour that Phil Jupitus was a comedian....totally unfounded it transpires

 

[OldBlueLady]

Phil Bigwood, who is (I think) the director behind Match of the Day.

 

[Streaky]

Wow, that's is a list of true z listers..... don't think they would make it on Celebrity Big Brother :smile:

 

[Agent Lomas]

Jupitus lives in Leigh, that could explain why he's been seen at Blues games :smile:

 

[RHB]

Wow, that's is a list of true z listers..... don't think they would make it on Celebrity Big Brother :smile:

Yeah, not sure the concert idea is quite so appealing now.

Phill Jupitus is also All At Sea's most famous reader. He told us off for only putting one l in his name once.

 

[Barry.C]

I was once seen in a Question Time audience and as an extra in Amazing Grace! surely that counts for something?

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Wasn't one of our fans and someone who posts on here in the remake of the Basil Brush show?
I'm sure it has been mentioned in the past.
