Is the full back Paul Roberts?

Hmmm..... Frank Womack from Birmingham went 511 games without scoring between 1908 and 1929. Of current players, Terry Hibbert of Everton is over 300.

Add to that, foirmer Leicester , Sunderland and England (capped in the mid 70's) defender Steve Whitworth went 503 games for the two clubs without a goal. he then joined Mansfield in the twilight of his career and finally scored. He scored two in 80 games for them. No doubt, one of them against us. How many Mansfield games he went before a goal, I know not.

No, no and no.

There's no limits......

Apart from the goal that won Leicester the FA Charity Shield (which I appreciate is a glorified friendly!)

Goalie was Chris Porter who never played for the first team and the only player ever to leave Southend to join Leiftur Ólafsfjörður who later simplified their name to Knattspyrnufélag Fjallabyggðar.

Are Bill and Ben joint-chairmen?

6) Which full back had a record for the longest amount of games before scoring in the football league, a total of 300-odd games and 14 years?

Hmmm..... Frank Womack from Birmingham went 511 games without scoring between 1908 and 1929. Of current players, Terry Hibbert of Everton is over 300.

Hmm. Fair enough - the Southend programme got it wrong.

Longest amount [sic] of games before scoring isn't necessarily the longest run of games without​ scoring.

Oooh excellent point.
