Before, during & after Southend
Academy midfielder Jamie Stevens, whose full name is James Daniel Stevens, made one senior appearance for Southend United. He started the League Two game away to Stockport County on 26 March 2011, when the Shrimpers lost 2–1, and was substituted at half-time.
The teenager, who was eligible for Northern Ireland youth football, spent time on loan at Great Wakering Rovers before continuing in Essex non-league football with Witham Town and Grays Athletic. Some databases list him as James Stevens, but contemporary squad lists use Jamie; both names lead to this profile.
