Hi folks, now where were we before we were so rudely interupted?

I compiled this list by awarding 10pts for a 1st place down to 1pt for a 10th place, if players were level then the player with the most votes places first. If still level the player with the most 1st places wins.

. Peter Watson
2.Ron Pountney
3.Chris Powell
4. Stan Collymore
5.John Mckinven
6.Paul Sansome
7.Fred Eastwood
8.Billy Best
9.Alan Moody
10.Sam McCrory
 
Thanks DS, in that case:

1. Collymore - simply the best player Southend have ever had. Oh Stanley, Stanley......
2. Prior - sorted out our defence, the difference between us being 4th division and us being in the championship and beating Man U etc. He'd been there and done it, but still came back to his home town club and got in where it hurt.
3. Eastwood - did the same for our attack as Spinner did for our defence (but without the previous spell)
4. Powell - class in every sense
5. Otto - entertainment
6. Gower - a joy to watch before he was hounded out
7. Crown - goals galore and a childhood hero.
8. Tilson - I modelled my game on him. I was successful to the extent that we are both left-footed.
9. Royce - made into a top class keeper (and the best I've seen in a Southend shirt) thanks to the practice that came his way courtesy of Keith Dublin
10. Gridelet - the Didier Deschamps to Ronnie Whelan's Zinedine Zidane. But he was more than a mere watercarrier, he was also a top-rate comedian, who prompted tears of laughter on many occasions.

Sub M. Bentley - added much needed steel and prompted the only known use of rumbustious in association with association football
 
My tenpenny worth:

1. Billy Best

2. Alan Moody

3. Chris Powell

4. Tony Bentley

5. Freddy Eastwood

6. John McKinven

9. Mark Bentley

Which Morris is that Ninja?

Glen, Colin or Hugh?


It's also incredibly close for 8th - 11th with just 4pts seperating Cadette, Crown, Royce & Tilson.
And another close battle for 12th - 15th with only 2pts seperating Angell, Ansah, Barrett & Maher.

Keep voting people!
