Southend United Memorabilia

[BedfordShrimper]

Hope its ok I start a new thread, but i saw a recent tweet from Chris Phillips and loved it !

It was about your best Southend memorabilia. Whether it be rare or just your favourite stuff. Not everyone is on twitter so thought it would be great to put some up ?!

Whereas I have all the normal stuff, some of my favourite and most random is various leaflets, booklets etc i've kept over the years as attached...

I would love to get my hands on that Charterhouse shirt !! Would love the Access shirt too. I have all homes from 1986 onwards.

I’m sorry that I don’t feel impressed when people exhibit specific old programmes on here.Theres a reason....
Having supported since 1955 ,despite a batch being thrown away way back when,I have every single 1st team HOME programme for 60 seasons- up to 2014/15. (I was living away in the 70’s and wasn’t actually at quite a lot of those games).
AWAY programmes,my collection is complete from 1955-6 up till 1997-8 apart from just 6****** that I haven’t managed to get hold of-yet!.(Ive also kept hundreds of home reserve and youth team progs).
******Just in case ? You never know ?
55-6. Newport—APRIL rematch
56-7 Northampton
57-8 Shrewsbury
60-61. Grimsby,Clacton(FAC),Rochdale (LC).

Did have a signed ball but I gave it away. Have a shirt signed by Sean Clohessey, a Man Utd programme. That's about it.

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

I want to know if anyone has a signed Liam Ridgewell shirt, willing to pay £££

I used to have a football that was kicked into the crowd against Gillingham the last home game of the promotion season of 1971-72 signed by Spud Taylor and Alex Smith , after 48 years I just don't know what happened to it .

LCBB,how did you get that ball then???
Did you find it suddenly up your jumper after it being kicked into the North Bank?
A present?
After the game,on the pitch (like thousands of others),and you found it!!!
ithink that game ended 0-0,poor game,but nobody cared.five minutes from the end,thousands of fans along the touchlines.
Remember it well,but dont remember much about last week!!

I've got a Bilel Mohsni shirt he played in with his (or an opponents blood on it) should we need to clone him

 

[B.B.The Legend Lives On.]

Over the 58 years of following the team I have been given some items of memorabilia from time to time and have listed them below:-
(1). Match ball from 1970-71 Southend United 2 v Scunthorpe United 2 this signed ball was presented to me by the players in the Shrimpers Club on my 21st. Birthday in Dec. 1970.
(2). Signed match ball given to my first wife by Gary Moore from the 1972-73 season match unknown.
(3). 1980-81 Derek Spence gave me his No.9 shirt as he left the pitch after the match against Rochdale 1-1 at Roots Hall on the night we clinched the Division 4 Championship.
(4). 1980-81 As above but the red away shirt as worn in the previous match against Torquay Utd.
(5). 1980-81 Having travelled to Hampden Park with my good friend Russ Ralph (RIP Russ) to witness Derek Spence then a Southend United player appearing in a World Cup Qualifier. At the next home match Derek kindly gave me his complete Northern Ireland kit from that match, although just a few weeks later Derek asked me if he could have the shorts back (LOL).
(6). 1980-81 Dave Cusack's complete tracksuit.
(7). 2000-01 Ron Pountney Testimonial Shirt.( I was helping on the night of the match against Charlton Athletic and noticed that the word Testimonial had been spelt wrongly). Just a few years back when Ron was doing some DIY at my house he gave me a lead crystal football that was given to the Charlton players who took part that evening. (I also helped Ron on his first Testimonial Year back in 1984-85 and he gave me Alan Hansen's No.6 signed Liverpool shirt as a "Thank You").
(8). Gary Moore sent me just a few years ago a signed menu from the 1971-72 season when we were runners-up to Grimsby Town a celebration held at Garons back in the day.

When the team came out for the kick off all the players had a couple of balls and kicked into the crowd , I was standing on the Southbank at the time .

Awesome, that is museum worth memorabilia. Some very unique items there!
