Steve Tilson

[The Big Shrimp]

Quick quote from Paula, Steve's sister about the presentation and picture.

"Steve was over the moon with it, thanks so much it was an emotional day x"

It was blatantly obvious how touched he was by the gesture, when it was presented to him! It made the effort more worthwhile.

Great stuff chaps, well done all involved

Must agree seeing pictures of Tilly accepting your gift is 1 moment that made me proud to be Shrimper.....

I am so pleased that Ken & John asked me to take the photos. I wouldn't have missed that for the world! He even signed a photo that was taken the two of us from a few years back. A quality moment!

Is this the same TrueBlue who was telling me that we shouldn't have done it and was swearing in the car park "I don't give a **** about Tilson --- he's done nothing, and no mention of the two relegations" ?

No its not - sober at the moment

What did Tilson make of the book?

What's that supposed to mean? I'm asking for Tilson's reaction to the book of tributes as I couldn't see anybody mention it.

Possibly it wasn't mentioned because it has not happened yet. We have yet to give him the book or Paul his framed picture....The picture for Paul we had on board but felt it would look pretty stupid to give him that along side Tillys so I put it in the TZ raffle....We will be sorting both of these out soon.

Thanks for the update. That's all I wanted to know because the last time I heard was that this was being given to Tilson alongside the picture... There was no need for the sarcastic response to a genuine question.

It may have been sarcastic for which I apologise, but you gave no credit to what we had done, only questioned something that was not mentioned.

Despite my views that Tilson done a good job but also made some errors and I was never his biggest fan like I said in my previous post its a superb gesture and those involved have done the club proud!

I've given credit and support to this idea (indeed, the picture was my idea to begin with) throughout the process, donated and chased up players for tributes.

Did he like the Stinky Quiz?

I'm guessing from the photos that Ron and GK had disappeared before the presentation then!!! Had a preview of the pics from Rich and had heard how it all went, top effort, well done to all concerned.

Well done guys. Absolutely brilliant gift to give Tilly. You've done all Southend fans proud.

The presentation took place at 2pm and , on Tilly's wishes, in his office. It was from the fans to Tilly and as such had no need for others to be present. :net:

I meant the presentation of himself to the fans! I guess I could have chosen a better word in this instance :duh:
