Getting technical now James, I am not sure he's been a sub for the first team but not certain if he has got on the pitch for them. I reckon an SZ statto will tell us.

 

[Ricey]

He was an unused sub in last seasons champions league game against someone.

 

[Shrimper]

He's played against Rosenborg in the Champo league. Anthony Grant? Paul Furlong?

[Southendsleeper]

Stephen Broad?
