Shrimpers new assistant boss Tommy Widdrington makes his bow at Monday morning's press conference. Tommy Widdrington: 'Massively important for everyone to get behind Southend'Well, he's known as a no-nonsense northerner, and after working for a club in financial difficulties and who recieved a 10-point penalty and a drop down two divisions, joining Southend must seem like a stroll around Priory Park.Speaking to the press conference Widdrington said: "It's a great opportunity to work with someone like Paul. Earlier you used the word 'impossible' challenge - I don't have that word in my vocabulary. It's massively important for everyone who loves and wants Southend to achieve to get behind them."There's some photo's up from the official site, my word Paul's a big boy, here: www.southendunited.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10444~2084508,00.htmlThe Widdrington Files Personal informationFull nameThomas WiddringtonDate of birth1 October 1971 (1971-10-01) (age 38)Place of birthNewcastle upon Tyne, EnglandHeight5 ft 9 in (1.75 m)Playing positionMidfielderClub informationCurrent clubSouthend United (assistant-manager)Youth career1987-1990SouthamptonSenior career*YearsTeamApps†(Gls)†1990-1996Southampton75(3)1991→ Wigan Athletic (loan)6(0)1996-1999Grimsby Town89(8)1999-2001Port Vale82(8)2001-2003Hartlepool United56(5)2003-2005Macclesfield Town58(0)2005Port Vale6(0)2005-2010Salisbury City46(2)Teams managed2010Southend United (assistant-manager)* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only.† Appearances (Goals).(Assistant Manager information supplied by Wikipedia, for the full article go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Widdrington)
