Our team competes in League One, the third tier of English football. Southend are known as The Shrimpers, a reference to the area's maritime industry included as one of the quarterings on the club badge.

Founded on 19 May 1906 in the Blue Boar pub, Southend has been a member of the Football League since 1920. The club has spent most of its League career in the English lower divisions, with seven seasons in the League's second tier (Division 2/Championship). The club is based at Roots Hall Stadium in Prittlewell, with plans to move to a new stadium at Fossetts Farm
