Back in the dark days, I think it was the Season before we went down to Division 3 we played Southend at Home. This side were so far adrift at the bottom of the League it was unreal. As I parked up, out of the Car next to me came three Southend fans. Son,Father and Grandfather and I asked them why on Earth they had bothered; "well you just never know do you - it could be our day today".
Kinkladze scored one stunner and set two more up in a very comfortable home win. Southend truly were dreadful.
Whenever I hear about who has the best supporters though I always think back to those three Southend fans.
