Sean Clohessy

[DTS]

Took me the first season to warm to him but now I think he is fantastic at this level.

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Cant give this Clohessy enough praise. Has been outstanding for us and not just that he keeps improving every year. Deserves to be playing at a higher level next season.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Im sure he will be off in the summer if we dont go up. No better full back in this division.

 

[O's fan]

For what its worth I thought he was excellent against Orient. Dogged, tenacious, supports the attack well and his overlapping run to set up the goal.

Reminded me of Andrew Whing. I'd love Orient to sign him. Maybe £20,000 waved under Ronnie's nose, except we haven't actually bought for a player since 2008.

I also think Lincoln Shrimp is correct. I seem to think that Sean was on his way to another (non-league) club when Widdrington stepped in and Sean was able to unscramble that deal and sign for us. What happened to TW? His departure was quite hushed up if I recall correctly.

Anyway, nothing must detract from SC's really remarkable consistency in terms of fitness and performance. Take an extended bow young man, you deserve it. How they must gnash their teeth at The Priestfield

Yes i think your right.Widdrington managed Sean at Sailsbury and would have faced Hall when he played for Bromley in blue square south.I see Hall play for Bromley season before we signed him and he looked a class apart.

Widdrington claims credit for Hall, Clohessy, Soares, Phillips, Simpson and Prosser.

He's manager at Eastbourne. His son did well at Britains Got Talent last year.

:unsure:

Where/when did he claim the credit for these? Phillips seems as odd one as the rest could be some non-league connection.

He replied to a tweet of mine.

“@prnapper: @TommyWidd Tommyquick question- did u recommend Clohessy to Southend?” Clohessy, Phillips, Prosser, Soares, Simpson #getthejist

“@prnapper: @TommyWidd Ah cheers - some great players there. Good luck at Eastbourne!” Forgot to mention Hall too ;-)

5 out of 6 wasn't bad then.

 

[C C Csiders]

Top signing and probably our best right back of the last 10 years. Head and shoulders above Jupp (sorry Juppy) and Simon Francis. Hope we get him signed up on a longer contract pronto!

Impossible. Any player that when playing for Basingstoke against Chelmsford who runs over to Geoff King when Basingstoke score a last-minute winner, and fires off an expletive-filled mouthful directed at King about him being fat and glorying in being a former Southend player, gets #1 legend status.

Many congrats to Sean, been terrific for a long while
