Last night was Kev's 416th appearance in a Southend shirt. This season he's passed the legendary Ronnie Poutney in the all time list and three more appearances will see him equal Tony Bentley in 3rd place. Quite an achievement and at only 30 he could very well catch up both Sandy Anderson in second (483) and the record holder Alan Moody (506) if he stays for the next two seasons and plays regularly.

Additionally Daryl has now made 303 appearances which puts him in 15th ahead of Sir Chrissy Powell.
 
By all accounts Captain Kev's testimonial arrangements were discussed during his last contract talks, so I very much doubt he'll be going anywhere. He's been a fantastic servant to the club who hasn't been short of opportunites to leave but has stood by us in the face of some ridiculous treatment from our own fans at times.
 
According to Soccerbase he has played:
League - 350
FA Cup - 24
League Cup - 17
Other 26
Total - 417

Puts my total slightly out actually!
 
I can't think of one bad game amongst that lot as well. What a fantastic servant and player. Not only that he decides not to steal the limelight by letting other people score the majority of goals.

Long live Captain Kev.

Agreed, for once being serious back there were plenty of misgivings and poor performances, in the early days but the thing I always latched onto is the fact that he could read a game of football. You'll find that with most youngsters who have trained with top flight opposition. It's an old point but a succession of Managers and coaches, not just SUFC based have seen how vital he is to the team and built the side around him. One of very few players in the last 10 years that would make an SUFC all time hall of fame.
 
as an original member of the KMAS formed on the Yahoo site can I just say well done Kev. He ignored the moaners and just got on with it. Always been a good technical footballer, has improved his workrate and tackling. Pity about the shot ratio but as they say if he was perfect he would not be playing for us. :)<br>

Young Kid - The so called senior pros. at the time were fearful of their places that they would not even pass the ball to him. At times he was completely isolated.

But there you are. Now, as the senior pro. himself, he is undistbutably outstanding !
 
Ever since I slagged him off on here he has started to up his game!

Maybe I should do that more often!

Well Done Kev some excellent form of late!
 
Kevin Maher I salute you Sir. A Southend United LEGEND no less and it's about time some people on here gave him the respect he deserves.
