Herd: 'It really is a massive few days for us'

Come on Johnny, reveal all, where did that throw come from?

The young full-back told www.southendunited.co.uk: "I've always been able to throw the ball a long way and I have no idea why or how. It's something I just suddenly discovered I could do while playing Sunday League football. I've started using a towel to dry the ball and that allows me to get even more distance."

Mate, we don't care how you do it, as long as it continues to cause the chaos it has been with the opposition and helps get the team out of the dreaded bottom four.

Herd continued: "It really is a massive few days for us. If we can get the right results then we can get out of the relegation zone and that's certainly what we are aiming for."
