Before, during & after Southend
Sheffield-born forward Waide Fairhurst joined Southend on a short-term loan from Doncaster Rovers in October 2010. He appeared in three League Two games, starting twice and coming on once as a substitute, without scoring. Fairhurst returned to Doncaster in November; a later spell at Hereford United and his subsequent permanent switch to Macclesfield Town were separate moves after leaving Roots Hall.
