Before, during & after Southend
Separate Southend spells
Centre-back Darren Blewitt, a West Ham United academy and reserve-team player, joined Southend on a short loan in February 2005. His only Football League appearance came as a late substitute in the 3–0 win away at Cheltenham Town.
He returned to West Ham before a separate loan to Hereford United, and later played in Essex non-League football.
