Famous(ish) people who follow Southend United.

I once appeared on 15 to 1. Does that count?
I have also appeared in a sitcom entitled 'The Blind Men' and also have appeared on Crimewatch (not as a suspect I hasten to add).
I was also in the school Pantomime (which was very similar to watching Southend).

I once met Lionel Richie at Heathrow baggage reclaim and as it turns out he doesnt support Southend, but he did once meet a Southend United supporter at Heathrow baggage reclaim.

Please tell me you said to him "Hello, is it this you're looking for" when he reclaimed his bag!

Talking of darts, is Ted Hankey any relation (son?) of the Ted Hankey who used to play for us?

That's not to be sneezed at

It was actually Steve Collins the Irish super-middleweight champion of the world who used to come to a few games. It started when he came to watch us play Carlisle as his brother Rod was manager of them. I believe Steve lived fairly locally for a while.

Steve lived in Shoebury where they built on the old barracks. Met him once at the Shore House. Very nice bloke.

Martin Jol watched Southend at Roots Hall after he got sacked by Spurs as he said a nice day out at the seaside took his mind off things. His next visit is likely to be coming up very soon.

How about Ruby from The Great British Bake Off or Billie Piper? Also the girl who was in Hollyoaks and is now in Game of Thrones? ( can't remember her name) They are/were all Southend based? Anyone know if they are fans?

In the 1970's I saw Richard Anthony at Heathrow Airport. In July 1962, he brought out an album entitled 'J'Irai Twister le Bleus' (Twistin' to the Blues). I've assumed the obvious.

I am told the guy that came runner up in the Financial Times mortgage planner of the year often attends games with his son and elderly father.

I have a very vague suspicion that some of you are not taking this thread seriously. I could be wrong.

 

[wally4pm]

Oh no it isn't

Oh yes it is

Former world no.1 darts player and Sky Sports presenter Rod Harrington used to play for us in his youth.

Met him a few years back and asked him about Southend; he doesn't really give a monkeys about us any more.

A few years back when i was going out with Rachel Riley , i took her to a Southend match. Sadly it was the one where we beat Man U + she said she would always support the under dog so became a Man U fan, so that was it. So i dumped her.

He's a Manchester United fan. I was best mates with his son in primary school and all they ever talked about was Man United.

She told me she dumped you cos you were a lousy kisser. I told her you weren't.
