FYI -
After 35 years of reporting from and commentating on Southend United matches, I’ve decided to step down from the role at the end of this season.
Although this is entirely my decision, I shall miss commentating on the Blues' matches terribly.
⚽️⚽️📻📻
A richly deserved accolade for such an outstanding achievement by a Southend United legend; a season like no other
👏👏👏
👑 Kevin Maher is @Vanarama’s Manager of the Season for 2023/24!
A fantastic acheivement for our gaffer 🙌
First match in ‘football retirement’ is being spent at @EnsignOfficial vs @GWRovers
⚽️⚽️
Wow, what a wonderful final commentary weekend. Thank you so so much for all the messages and gifts, including @SUFCRootsHall, @shrimperstrust & @ShrimperZone. As I said on air, it’s been an honour to be the soundtrack to so many Southend United moments.
