Steve Tilson - You're Ace

[W4 Shrimper]

Every Monday, the Racing Post does a "You're Ace" and "You're Not" piece. Monday's "Not" was, unsurprisingly, Lee Bowyer. The "You're Ace" award went to Mr Steve Tilson....

"A look at the pre-season prices in League Two puts into context the job that Southend coach Tilson has done by shaping the Shrimpers in to champions-elect in the division this term.

Southend, who ended up eighth from bottom last term, had lost Leon Cort to Hull and Leon Constantine to Peterborough and were 33/1 for the title and just 7/1 to be relegated to the Conference.

But Tilson has unearthed a gem in young striker Freddy Eastwood, and four consecutive wins have put Southend in the driving seat to win the section. Recognition of what he has achieved is long overdue"

I am painting a Tilson and Brush mural on the side of my house if we do the double this season.

If not I am going for stone cladding.

Is Tilly going to get a knighthood?

No, he's not a prominent Labour supporter.
