Rochford-born defender Spencer Prior had two Southend careers. A product of the youth ranks, he progressed to senior football before moving to Norwich City in June 1993 and later playing in the Premier League. He returned from Cardiff City in summer 2004 and helped the Shrimpers through two successive promotions before retiring in 2007.
