A group of 150 Southend United fans hired a ‘party boat’ to take them down The Thames to their match away to Sutton on Saturday, and they soon noticed that an American tourist called Evan was sitting quietly by himself, so they asked him if he was OK. It turned out that he had got on the boat by accident and thought he was doing a sightseeing tour of London 😂😂😂
They instantly adopted him as a new Shrimper, got the beers in, and even gave him a ticket to the match that ended 1-1. If you kept hearing the chant ‘Evan is a Shrimper’ on the radio - now you know why!
