I managed all 18 Southend utd squad players that travelled up for yesterdays game Plus Manager Paul Sturrock and his player/assistant Graham Coughlin to sign the match day programme. Got Stanley boys Marcus Carver and Andrew Dawber to sign pics in the programme. Also added one of the deadline day loan signings Tom Aldred to add his graph to the book and shirt I have, Still need Ex Bury player Mark Hughes to sign these to be up date for the season. And an added bonus .............at yesterdays game was one of the original cast members from "Eastenders" Actor Tom Watt who played Lofty Holloway, the weedy, asthmatic barman of The Queen Vic from the show's inception until 1988. Had a right good chin wag with him. He is up here filming next week and as he's a massive football (Arsenal) fan and knows about Stanley but has never been on the ground so he decided to come up here a coupe of days early to take in a home game... "Stanley Fan".. for the day he said. He's done quite a bit since leaving the Square on the sports side of things, Radio, Heads a forum for Arsenal fans, written books on the subject etc really nice bloke to talk too and had a chat about the game after the game too. Just had to get a card signed for our friend Nigel...Think he likes a bit of EE..and could not leave his wife Kelly out so I'll pop them in the post soon as...Love it "To Nigel up the Stanley..Tom Watt".
Should have had all 3 points yesterday 1-0 against 10 men at home...creeping nearer to the bottom 2 😞

That was a good result against one of the division's better sides Alex. Nice day's graffing as well. Many thanks for the Tom Watt cards, most appreciated. He is a football nutter! I have a signed 1st of his great book A Passion For The Game.
When I get my Accy - Watford players shirt back from it's current outing that you originally sent me as a gift, I will need to send it to Tom Aldred. He was a contract player at Watford but never played a game.
