Southend Signings


Found this clipping from 1958, Southend signing 2 players from Chelsea.
Les Stubbs and Alan Dicks were both part of the Chelsea squad that won the League Championship in 1955, so this looked like a good bit of business.
Les Stubbs was returning to his home town club after 6 seasons at Chelsea where he played over a 100 games and scored 30+ goals.
Alan Dicks went on to play 4 seasons at Roots Hall before going into coaching and management, he is probably most famous for managing Bristol City during their 4 season stay in the old first division.
