Please forgive me if this already appears somewhere on Shrimperzone or if there’s a very late change of heart but a reliable source who’s spoken with him,tells me that Phil Cox has told him that(after approx 1,600 (?)consecutive home and away games) he has decided he’s NOT going to Lincoln tomorrow!

Firstly, who is Phil Cox, and secondly who gives an amoeba’s excretion hole?

Really nice bloke Phil.I think its late 1989 since he has missed a game home or away.Likes a bit of non league too.

Wow, what has brought this about? It seems quite a tame end to his absurd streak of consecutive matches.

Just somebody that hasn't missed a game for 30 years is all.

Was reading other day about Wolves fan who had a delayed trip to their Europa league game in Armenia and he just made the last 18 minutes or so.He hasn't missed a game since 1976

Ouch. That's a bit like saying who is oldblueladies husband? People who have no f'in idea or don't care have details of their plans too on a regular basis like it actually matters.

Whoopty-doo for him. Why am I interested?

You should be. His level of support is unlikely to be surpassed again.

I congratulate Phil. I still don’t know him

 

[geoffmundo]

I presume he is not married!

I know who the guy is and fair play to him for all them games but not sure his support is more important than some others when your a bit odd and have a lot of time to put football before family so to speak.

*Just to note I'm one of them losers who has plenty of things which in reality are way more important but put southend games first.

 

[Lord Football]

I've known (and work with) Phil for over 30 years. The last game he missed was a hastily re-arranged game at Grimsby on Wednesday night in December 1989. He has been to every single game Southend have played since.

He has his reasons for wanting to snap this streak, and they're not really for me to put on here. He has a couple of non-league games lined up for tomorrow - both of which I'd never heard of. He seems very sure that he is making the right decision.

It'll be odd him not sitting in his usual seat on the BoT bus,

 

[MK Shrimper]

Falling out of love with the club he's supported all his life? We're hardly in a pickle, been much darker times than now.

 

[C C Csiders]

Thank f*** for that! He has been an absolute jinx these last 30 years. 3 points and a comfortable victory it is tomorrow then!

Don't know him personally, but do recall him on 'The Brother Grimm' coaches back in the 70's.
Also recall a football quiz night in the 'Shrimpers' around 76, when he got quite upset that our team answered a question right, when he thought he had given the right answer!

Not sure Phil Cox was going to away games in the 1970's. You must be thinking of another Phil?
