SOUTHEND United legend Stan Collymore will be coming back to south-east Essex in November.

The Shrimpers are holding an evening with their popular ex striker at the Arlington Ballroom on Thursday November 30, starting at 6.45pm.

The event is priced at £35 plus VAT which includes a welcome bottle of Peroni or a soft drink plus an extensive buffet.

And Collymore is looking forward to the night.

"It's 25 years since I left but playing for Southend was the happiest six months of my career so it will be good to come back," said Collymore.

"I'm sure it will be a really good night."

Collymore scores 18 goals in 33 games during the second half of the 1992/93 season to keep the Shrimpers in the second tier of English football.

VIP packages for the evening have already sold out but tickets are still available.
