Stan the Man

[McScriven]

Just seen a promo for the Frank Skinner show tonight and Stan the Man is going to be on it.

However, Frank announced him as Southend's greatest ever striker. No mention of any other clubs, we're the ones normally left out of his previous clubs list.

Anyway it's on ITV tonight at 10pm.

You beat me to it. Someone else obviously watches the bill ...

And Frank introduced him with a clip of him scoring a goal for the mighty shrimpers.

They have just shown my favourite ever Stanley goal on the show. April 93 against Brizzle Rovers, think it was his 2nd of the night.

A match also memorable for the whole North Bank singing "One Billy Ocean, there's only one Billy Ocean" at one of the BR subs!!!

Oh, happy days

Does Anybody know where id be able to get any photos of stan playing for southend?

"Billy, Billy give us a wave"....

And he did! Quality night. Will be in the memory banks for a long time that one!

 

Not sure I want to hear Stan talking about his dogging experiences after the news though....

One of those nights when no matter how much they regularly kick us in the teeth, you can justifiably claim you're "PROUD TO BE A SHRIMPER"

I'd forgotten he acknowledged us but I do seem to remember now from somewhere his sheepish wave back to the rousing chants of "Billy, Billy, give us a wave"

Anybody, any clues as to who the mystery sub was, I seem to think he was relatively famous back then "in old Division 1 money"!

Erm...also look out for the Anglia football night as XXL 15 or whatever that Hong Kong dude that was obsessed with Sutch is on!!

 

[TrueBlue]

not the one that wanted to shag him

Glad someone cleared it up as i remembered the goal but last night couldn't think who it was against.

Looking back now i have to say ,Bristol Rovers, rascal away shirt

 

[McScriven]

You sure it was Bristol Rovers?

Looked like Norwich to me.

 

[McScriven]

Although onloy being a wee nipper when Stan was playing I don't remember too many of his games and someone will no doubt prove me wrong by saying a) we didn't play Norwich when he was here and b) he never scored against them if we did.

Shame then that on the programme he just said ' now a man who used to do this for a living' and showed the goal. Oh well, makes a change from Liverpool, Forest, Villa etc.

But then Skinner is very pro-Lower League football anyway

Exactly!!!

From the SUFC Database...
Wed 14 Apr 93, Bristol Rovers (H) 3-0 Collymore (2), Angell Att 6,154

This was exactly one week after St Brett's Day & the slaying of the Hamsters.

Norwich City were not in Div 1 that season, in fact that was the season they set the Premiership alight prior to their UEFA Cup journey the next year (beating Bayern in Munich & almost seeing off Inter)

 

[McScriven]

Exactly why I threw that last post in to cover my back.

I just saw the Yellow and Green and assumed it was Norwich.

Is anyone else thinking thank feck we didn't appoint that man as our manager!?
