THE latest 'Have I Got Blues for You' podcast is now available, featuring Leo Roget.

The ex Shrimpers defender recalls a number of memorable moments from his spell at Roots Hall.

The podcast, which is sponsored by SP Financial Management and MSPFX, can be listened to here.

But here a few of the highlights. 

THE RED CARD AGAINST OXFORD

"It was unbelievable. I tell people the story now and people don’t believe me.

“We were 2-0 up at the time and we were fighting against relegation. I gave a free-kick away on the far touchline and Steve Bennett, I’ll never forget him, booked me.

“As that was happening Joreon Boere and Oxford’s Darren Purse had some sort of altercation in the penalty area and the linesman started flagging.

“At that point I was still being booked.

“I jogged back into the area but the linesman called the ref over and told him I had an altercation with Darren Purse.

“The referee called us both over and booked us but when he showed me the red card and I’ll never forget it, he said ‘I know it wasn’t you’.

“It was unbelievable and a few years later he was in the Premier League!

“He reffed us again a few weeks after that too.

“I looked at him and he just said ‘I knew it wasn’t you but the linesman said it was so it wasn’t my fault!’

“The red card was rescinded on the Monday but we ended up drawing 2-2 so it didn’t help our cause.”

'SMASHING' BARNET'S STEREO

“We were playing Barnet.

"We were just outside the play-offs and they were top of the League.

"I had a lot of my friends playing for Barnet so there was a bit of a rivalry and they were flying at the time.

"To cut a long story short they beat us 3-1.

"They didn’t really deserve it but they scored some quality goals on the counter attack.

"After the game, they kept on banging on our door, taking the mick.

"In the end, they went in their dressing room but their stereo outside the dressing room in the corridor and turned it right up.

"All the boys in our changing room were saying we can’t have this they’re taking the mick and some of the management were saying that too.

"I opened the door and I yanked the chord out of the wall.

"Yes, it did fall over but I didn’t smash it.

"After that, the players came out and there was a bit of an altercation.

"There were about 15 or 20 people involved but it was handbags really.

"That was it but for some reason, 18 years later I’m still known for smashing up their steeo.

"But if that’s what people want to remember then it’s absolutely fine.”

ALVIN MARTIN

“I had about 16 managers in my career but he was by far the worst by a country mile.

"The way he treated players was absolutely awful.

"He came from West Ham to Southend at a time when we didn’t even have enough training kit.

"It was a massive culture shock for him and he just lost the plot in the end.

"Even when that happens there is still a way of treating people but I reckon by the time he left 80 per cent of the players that played for him had a strong dislike for him.

"If you don’t like someone you’re not going to go out and perform. There were players like Mike Marsh, Paul Byrne, Keith Dublin, Paul Williams and Simon Royce.

Roycey was deemed not good enough to play for us in League One but the following season he was starring in the Premier League, it just didn’t add up.

"There was a strong dislike between the players and the manager and I’ve never really experienced that before.

"I heard him on TalkSport last year and he was still blaming me for it. It was unreal because I could only have played in about 20 per cent of the games he was manager for."
