Definitely remember the Middlesborough one - still haven't forgiven that diving tart Bernie Slaven and thought he had at least one other. That was the game Tilly went in goal for.
Grimsby sounds about right, don't remember Brentford though.

I think he deserves the freedom of Southend for the red when he lumped Marco Gabbiadini. Said it before, will say it again. One of my favourite SUFC moments, it's not often you see an entire stadium give a standing ovation to a player sent off. It was beautiful.

Surely Mark Bentley got more than 1??
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments, but you are getting your facts slightly muddled.
According to soccerbase, he was only booked for that. The roars of approval will have been for Gabbiadini getting red-carded.
He deserves his freedom of Southend for getting Alvin Martin the sack by being sent-off in a 1-0 home defeat to Hull.
His other reds were:
1. The biggest miscarriage of justice of the 20th Century (although it was later reversed, we never got our two points back)
2. Kingstonian in the FA Cup, where he ran - reports differ - anywhere from 30 to 80 yards to lamp a Kingstonian player.
It's maybe worth mentioning in dispatches that he also had a supporting role in one of my all-time favourite brawls (time for another thread) at Barnet, plus the home game when Roget destroyed their CD player.
There's a lot of libel going on in this thread.
He only got one and it was a travesty (when a Col Ewe player understandably threw himself at the feet of the mighty Benno and Benno accidently trod on him).

Well the ref was Steve Bennett, so you didn't actually expect him to send the right player off did you?Yorkshire Blue said:
No way! Gabbiadini went off first for inciting the brawl and then Roget trudged off after. I'm almost 1000% certain of it. Surely?!
Am struggling to find a match report, the best I can find is this thread. Worth a read for a wander down memory lane.
He was one of the Swansea three and then one of the Col Ewe two.
For the latter I believe he called Steve Bennett a ****ing ****. If he didn't he was in a minority that afternoon.
I suspect he got at least a yellow for dissent at the Vetch as well.

And all of Roy's reds came in his second spell at the Hall - even more impressive!

What about Mark Warren the centre back who played for the scum? I seemed to remember him having a few reds

Just what must have it been like back in the day when players were never sent off. I think Southend United went more than 50 years before we ever had a player sent off!!

Best one I remember was in our First Division relegation campaign when one of the worst refs ever, Steve Bennett, sent off Roget or Boere against Oxford for a second booking for a foul on Nigel Jemson. Can't remember which way round it was, but the general gist was that he sent off a white man, when a black player was the offender, or the other way round.
Went down to see the arrogant pr*ck in the referee's room to explain his decision and he refused to speak. Wanted to ask him if he was colourblind!

No ones mentioned Derick Payne for lamping David Speedie in front of the East. About the only positive thing he ever really offered the club and about the only thing he was ever remembered for. Another one who went off to a standing ovation.

It could well be Spicer the other night. The only other possible one I can remember is Roy McDonough against Newport in the FA Cup 1st Round in 1985 that may have been less than 10 minutes, maybe Bernie Fiend has some more info on that one?
