Former Southend United goalkeeper Steve Arnold recalls a chaotic match against Solihull Moors. The match, which took place in October 2021, was marked by chaos in the away end, with chairman Ron Martin attempting to speak with angry fans. Arnold, who was focused on the game, was unaware of the commotion behind him until after the match. He remembers thinking 'Oh My God, what is going on' when he heard about the incident.
Why it matters for Southend
The incident is a memorable moment in Southend's history, and Arnold's recollection of it provides insight into the team's past. With Southend currently 4th in the National League, having scored 4 goals and conceded 1 this season, the team is looking to continue their success. Their next fixture is against Eastleigh at home on February 16, 2027.
Arnold, who made 53 appearances for Southend during his two-year spell, has fond memories of his time with the team. He is now enjoying a new role as a painter and decorator, but still keeps an eye on the team's results. As Southend prepares to face Eastleigh, they will be looking to build on their current momentum and continue their push up the league table.
