Is Ron Pountney one of the greatest 12 figures in SUFC history?

Guy should be publicly flogged at the next home game if I had my way. He clearly wasn't around in the 80's. Any Southend fan who saw him play in the 80's knows what a legend Ron Pountney is.

Cough, cough - and the 70s!
 
Showing your age Kay. ;) Although I am sure you would have been in WHSG uniform at the time. :unsure::O

Oh definately Harry! Came across a photo of me and my sister with Terry Nicholl from the 1976 equivalent of MTBD the other day, not quite in school uniform, but probably the leisure equivalent! Interestingly, one of the stewards in the west is also in it, Mark Pearson, I think it is, he had a brother Neil who was at school with my sister - he's in it too!
 
I loved the way he would battle in every game & I can't remember his head ever dropping. Always available for team mates, making runs to receive a pass, and a good passer of the ball himself. As well as playing in one of our best teams in the '80-'81 season, he also played in the less enamoured sides of the 'difficult' Anton Johnson years- but never shirked. A true Shrimpers legend- he's got to be in the HOF!
 
At the moment he's in, right? Over 30 votes and at least 90% in favour, could still do with a few more though, just to make sure.
