WEDNESDAY'S Echo is a must for all Southend United supporters as it includes a 16 page play-off pull-out.

Featured inside is former Arsenal coach Alex Welsh who Daniel Bentley credits for turning him into a goalkeeper plus there is a nice two page feature with Adam Barrett’s dad Charles as he talks us through the defender’s upbringing ahead of his 300th game for the Shrimpers.

We have also spoken to Blues’ players Ben Coker, Joe Pigott and Kevan Hurst plus manager Phil Brown offers his views on the play-offs.

Shrimpers legend Kevin Maher recalls how his Southend side bounced back from missing out on automatic promotion to secure play-off glory back in 2005 plus we’ve also got the views of Morecambe manager Jim Bentley who is backing Blues to win.

We take a look back at Southend’s previous play-off campaigns and take a look at Stevenage’s star players.

Former Blues and Stevenage winger Adrian Clarke offers his opinions and find out just why Trinity Blue’s under 13 team are backing David Worrall.

As well as that all we talk to Gary Deegan’s brother Jonathan who explains just why he had to stop kicking Gary when he got to the age 11 and why he is jealous of his beard.

There’s also the chance to win a Southend United shirt signed by Adam Barrett, Daniel Bentley’s signed goalkeeping gloves and David Worrall’s signed boots.

These competitions will not be available online so make sure you pick up a copy of Wednesday's Echo.
