I remember he was a keen musician.. did he keep that up? Yet another player whose career was sadly blighted by injury. Nine days older than me!!

@Ricey probably knows a few things being his #1 fan!

I am anticipating that. However, with the big event now less than two weeks away I suspect @Ricey is starting to hyperventilate at the thought of it all and is a bit incoherent by now

The greatest moment of all:

 

[NZamba Legend]

Remember him playing for Woodland Boys under 9s

Ah come @Cricko, that's just taking the p**s.

Saw him near the end of his career when I went to Takeley—he was very much a hero there.

If someone could get a reasonable still pic of that celebration I'd love to use that on the SUEPA Facebook site ..................... please

Scott has got a party of eight in the Legends Lounge plus others in the stand coming to this - we'll get him on the pitch pre KO (maybe to do that celebration?)

He'll be in the Legends Lounge after the match if anyone wants to pop up and relive that Canvey goal etc with him

Of course I’ll be at the game. The greatest Southend United players of all time is going to be there

Best I have got.

Thanks Big Dad, that's great. I'll just check with Scott that he is ok with me posting this up - don't want to embarrass him especially as he's bringing friends to the game and he is now a responsible business man!

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

Remember him playing for Woodland Boys under 9s

Remember him playing for Rayleigh boys, in the same team with Neil Harris and Matt Lockwood

They won everything!!

 

[ItsMichaelBlack]

What actually happened to his career. Did he fall off.

 

[Evening Echo]

SCOTT Forbes still feels it was a dream come true to line up for Southend United.

Annoying ain't it! I only read blues stuff anyway.
Can't you have a word with CP and say no point posting on here if we can't read it?
They can nick ideas from SZ if we can read their articles.
