Although we don't like to blow our own trumpet, we are really delighted at the following review that "A Century United" received in the latest edition of the respected football collectables magazine "Programme Monthly"

"Southend United were 100 years old last season, and to commemorate the milestone Peter Miles and Dave Goody have produced a beautiful history book entitled A CENTURY UNITED. It is the story of 100 eventful years in words and pictures (there are practically no statistics). The 300 page, large sized book opens with a detailed look at football in the Essex town pre-United, and the early years of the Shrimpers. From the start, the text is accompanied by an excelleny selection of illustrations, including many programme covers (as befits the authors, both enthusiastic collectors). Coming to terms with Football League membership in 1920, the events surrounding various ground moves, and the great players and personalities who played for the club through the years are all dealt with in turn, enter the authors' lifetimes, the quantity of text and quality of photographs are lifted to higher planes. Simply designed, but printed on glossy paper, this is a top quality production appropriate to celebrate the club's centenary. For an indication of the quality of the writing, you need only read the Dedications; both to their Dads, who inspired their love for the club."

"Dave, my copy was delivered yesterday afternoon. I started reading it straight away and next thing it was 1am. All that information from the birth of the blues in the 1900's was so detailed that you can imagine being there. Great read, great memories, congratulations on a fantastic book and a must-have for all true blues fans. Thanks!" - Leighite (taken from Shrimperzone Forum)

"Mine was delivered last night, spent the evening thumbing through it, trying to educate the wife as to the history of our wonderful football club. Superb stuff.......The memories, the memories!!!!! Well done to all concerned." - chrisguthrie (taken from Shrimperzone Forum)

"Seriously, excellent book. Very professional, and riviting... Didn't realise so much went on in the first few years of the clubs existance. We could have quite easily gone the way of Croydon Common during the First World War." - CI-City Blue (taken from Shrimperzone Forum)

"Once again, Very Well Done to you both.. you should be extremely proud of your achievement... to write it was one thing, but to get it published off your own bats takes some doing" - Blueblood (taken from Shrimperzone Forum)

"Have only flicked through it briefly, but as a big rugby league fan* I was really glad (if a little surprised!) to see the big section on Southend Invicta. Great work chaps." - Uxbridge Shrimper (taken from Shrimperzone Forum)

"I have just received my copy of the book, ordered via Amazon, and would like to pass on my congratulations for your extremely well researched and very entertaining production and I hope it obtains the sales it deserves." - Keith Rosewell (via email)
