FOREWORD

I can always remember my early playing days. I played football as a youngster with the Air Training Corps and somebody must have seen me playing and arranged for me to have two or three games with Southend United reserves, which I did. I thought I played terribly but they must have seen some potential there because within a month they had asked me to sign as a professional. That was in 1945 and I was on seven pounds a week, with another pound or two pounds if I played in the first team. I remember my first team debut clearly. It was at the old Southend greyhound track, ‘the Stadium’ as they called it. To my amazement, the manager Harry Warren called me in and announced, “I am playing you against Watford on Saturday” and, sure enough, he put me in the team. I was very nervous, especially walking onto the field. Beside me was this old chap from Watford, who was about ten years older than me. He said, “I understand that this is your first game.” And when I confirmed that it was, he responded, “Well, you see that grandstand over there?”, pointing over to the stand, “If you come anywhere near me this afternoon I will kick you right over the top.” As you can imagine, I thought, ‘What have I let myself in for?’ Again, personally I thought I had played a terrible game that day, but after a while I started to score goals and from then on I never really looked back. I had a wonderful time at Southend and played with some great players and friends, but the best was the then captain Jimmy McAlinden, an Irish international and a very, very good player.

I later had a good career with Leeds, Southampton, Cardiff City and Brentford before returning to Southend and a lengthy spell working in local government. I remain a big Blues supporter and the club are very good to me, I have a permanent seat at Roots Hall which they allocate to me each year. I am so pleased to see them doing so well, and I know for a fact that the present manager knows a bit about football and I think he is the best thing that has happened to the club in years. It is a thrill for me to write the Foreword for this book and hope you will enjoy it! I am sure all Shrimpers fans will find the book very testing and it will also help to revive one or two memories I am sure. Up the Blues!

Best wishes

FrankDudley Southend United Football Club (1945-1949)

INTRODUCTION

On behalf of Peter and myself I would first of all like to thank Frank Dudley for writing the Foreword to this book. I am very grateful for his help on this project and was truly delighted when he agreed to write a few words. I would also like to thank the following people for writing some advanced reviews before publication: Dave Goody, Glenn Speller (BBC Essex), Shaun Peel (BBC Look East), Kevin Piper (Anglia TV) and Stephen Lee (Anglia TV), Derek Davis (East Anglian Daily Times), Tom King (Southend Echo), and four websites: www.4thegame.com, www.southendunited-mad.co.uk, www.ShrimperZone.com, www.sarfend.co.uk. It was an honour to join forces with Peter Miles, who has an immense knowledge of Southend United Football Club and has co-written four other Shrimpers publications. I would like to thank David Scriven at Southend United Football Club for his help and advice during the book’s compilation. I really hope you all enjoy this book. Hopefully it should bring back some wonderful memories!

Best wishes Chris Cowlin
