Unlikely hotbeds of acting talent part 2: Paul Napper got in touch to point out Southend's surprisingly hearty involvement in Mike Bassett: England Manager. Not only was their former winger Andy Ansah the "football consultant" (a role he has also taken in Goal, Goal II, Footballers Wives and Byker Grove, among other titles), but three former Shrimpers aces were also spotted on screen. Phil Gridelet, Dean Holness and Declan Perkins were the men involved, the latter being one of seven siblings who also number a certain Louise Lombard, otherwise known as Sophia Curtis in CSI.

Well done.

By co-incidence, I watched this film last night. I bought a copy for £2(!) earlier this week.

Classic film with some great lines.

Well, it wasn't what I sent in. Creative licence and all that.

A good week for the Shrimpers in the media what with the B&K podcast, plus the Warsaw chants.

I wonder what else we could get ourselves mentioned in..?
