Southend United All-Time Draft

[The Big Dady]

Just wanted to say what a fantastic thread this has been, with over 300 posts and 3,700 views.

I must say that I wished I had joined in, now that I have seen how it works.

It has brought back so may great memories reading all your stories about some of our great forma players.

As you get on, it is surprising how many if these players you forget about until someone mentions them and then all those fantastic memories come flooding back.

Thanks from a grateful Shrimper.

PS OK I will ask, what happens now?

I had Britt. Hunter. Butters ,Burridge all on a short list of loanees. But I didnt feel the loanee issue made it worth the gamble

The one I almost used was Peter Sylvester

George Molyneux, Nathan Jones, Damon Searle

I'd forgotten Nathan Jones, but I think my next left-back would have been Steve Yates. Rather surprised he wasn't picked as he was part of the 4th division Championship side that kept all those clean sheets (but maybe people were put off the idea of title winning left-backs being good by Che Wilson).

I was surprised neither Sodje nor Roget got picked up.

Mentioned Steve Yates further back, he was quality (and, as previously mentioned, had very nice thighs!).

You and your thigh obsession!

What a fantastic thread.... best I've been involved in since I joined over a decade ago. Thanks for letting me be part of it.

I am sure we all had players who didn't quite make our elevens who were completely over-looked by everyone else.

I am ummed and aaahed over my last centre forward pick, and I cannot believe no one picked up on Britt Asambalonga! Anyone else have a gem up their sleeve that never got picked up?

How no-one picked Phil Gridelet i will never know.

Talking of Grids hope to get an interview with him soon. Julian Hails said Grids goal was the best he’d ever seen in a match

I think this would be fun to do again with 8 different people.

Because you think we’ve had some new ‘all time greats’ in the last 4 years?

It is... one of the best threads for a long time.

I'd be interested to know if anyone not in the game is reading the thread with as much interest!

Loving it.
I’m driving home 1200ks north of Perth, through the outback, of north Western Australia.
It’s a great read, when having a break from driving and have phone coverage.
Especially, as those playing, are giving the reasoning behind their choices.
First class by everyone involved.

You do realise this thread was 4 years ago, don't you? It was great though. I think the semi finals had their own thread.

No I didn’t
I was waiting for the semi’s
I was on a 12 hour drive home and it popped up on the thread.
I’ll have to find the semi thread to get closure.
At least you had a response to your question, after waiting 4 years
