Families are being invited to a day of entertainment at Southend United.

The arrival of a new manager, Steve Wignall, and the ending of another season, are being marked with a funday.

The second of its kind, the event this Saturday will begin at 2pm with a show by Essex FM DJ Mikee Porter.

The show will see live performances by Urban Lady and boy band 4play. There will also be performances from singer-songwriters Martin Bell and Johnny Spurling.

They penned the songs Sven, Sven, Sven and Golden Balls, which became the theme tunes of last year's World Cup.

After the show, the Blues will play their last home game of the season, against Bury.
