RIP Shrimper

[tia]

My uncle who held a season ticket in the West stand for many years passed away on Monday night aged 92.He was a late starter at Roots Hall taking me there when i was a kid in the late 1980s.He was a regular to away games into his 80s going to Carlisle aged 83! His last game to see Southend play was the 4-0 home win against MK Dons last April.And this year he had to give his season ticket up due to ill health.The club have kindly agreed to put a mention in about him in the Luton Town programme which the family is very happy about. Southend utd will certainly be mentioned at his funeral as it bought him so much pleasure in his later years

RIP, sorry for your loss. Hopefully the team can pull together and get 3 points on Saturday in your uncles honour.

Sorry to hear of another Die Hard Shrimper has been taken.

I am sure he will still be following and watching Southend United play in spirit.

Some of us will have known him, what was his name? If you prefer to keep that private I fully understand.

All the best to his family and friends at this sad time, but reflect on the great times he had following the Shrimpers.

RIP Shrimper

Always sad to hear of a dedicated Shrimper passing, RIP my friend. I was also at the Vetch Field with my son on that surreal day when Warren scored the third goal, the New Year's Day second goal v Gillingham reminded us of that.

It's only at times of loss like yours @tia that you realise the fond memories that you shared with your uncle. Not only that, the wider family that is Shrimpers fans feels your loss with you. I reckon he will take his seat for Saturday with the best view in the house and not a pylon to block his view surrounded by the many other Blues stalwarts sitting next to him.

Our Sympathy to you and your family mate.
