Shrimpers clear out continues as Stannard allowed to leave

24 June 2010 19:56
Southend United have confirmed that they will not be renewing the contract of physio John Stannard. And it goes on.This time part of the off-the-field staff in the very popular physio John Stannard whose present contract will not be renewed when it runs out at the end of June. A well known figure, especially to the travelling Shrimpers, John has had the odd chant sung about him, usually about his rather portly figure as he ran around the touchline, and will be greatly missed. Then again, nothing is surprising as the bad news coming out of Roots Hall seems to be on an hourly basis!Ben Clarkson, a charted physiotherapist who has been working with Ricky Duncan's youth team since 2006, has been promoted to first team physiotherapist.There's only so many ways you can thank someone for their time at the club, and we've given three today already, but it goes without saying that S24 wishes John the best of luck in the future.
