About Southend

Southend United Football Club, fondly known as "The Shrimpers," is a professional football club based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England. The club was founded on May 19, 1906, and currently competes in the National League, the fifth tier of English football.

Southend United's history is marked by periods of success and struggle, reflecting the unpredictable nature of football. The club's home ground, Roots Hall Stadium, has been their base since 1955, and it is known for its vibrant atmosphere on match days.

Southend's early years were spent in the Southern League until they became a member of the Football League in 1920. They have spent most of their league history oscillating between the third and fourth tiers, with brief spells in the second tier. The club has won the Third Division South (1929–30) and the Fourth Division (1980–81, 1989–90).

The Shrimpers have also had their share of cup success. They reached the final of the Football League Trophy four times, lifting the trophy twice in 2004 and 2005. The club's best FA Cup run came in the 1975–76 season when they reached the fifth round.

Southend United's most successful period came under the management of Dave Webb and then Steve Tilson. Webb led the club to promotion to the Second Division for the first time in its history in 1991. Tilson, a former player, guided the Shrimpers to back-to-back promotions in 2005 and 2006, taking them from League Two to the Championship.

Despite these successes, Southend United has also faced financial difficulties and relegation battles. The club was relegated to the National League at the end of the 2019-2020 season after a 101-year stay in the Football League.

Over the years, Southend United has nurtured several players who went on to have successful careers, including Stan Collymore and Freddy Eastwood. The club's all-time leading goalscorer is Roy Hollis, with 135 goals.

Southend United's traditional colours are blue and white, and their crest features a shrimp, reflecting their nickname. The club has a fierce rivalry with nearby Colchester United, with matches between the two known as the Essex derby.

Despite the ups and downs, Southend United remains a beloved institution in Southend-on-Sea. The club's passionate fan base continues to support the Shrimpers through thick and thin, reflecting the spirit of community and resilience that embodies football at its best.
