Garry Nelson made his professional breakthrough with Southend after coming through the club's youth side. He went on to a long Football League career and wrote about life in the game, starting at Roots Hall before a 1983 move to Swindon Town.
These career totals are being corrected. The older archive entry for Garry Nelson contains a known discrepancy and must not be used as a definitive figure. Its data is safely retained for reconciliation.
This is the archived career snapshot, not an automatically combined lifetime total. Some earlier seasons and cup records are incomplete; current-season matches are shown separately until each historical season has been reconciled. No unverified figures are presented as definitive club records.
