Chris - who has covered the Shrimpers for the Echo since 2003 - was joined by a number of key names from the club and community ahead of Sunday's play-off final with Oldham Athletic. Advertisement And he was keen to thank those who helped him raise funds for the Mind of the Student charity. Chris said: "These things are always hard to put together and run but it was great to have so many great guests. "It was nice to speak to those who played such a key part during the club's struggles and to really sit back and reflect on how far we've come before we kept caught up in the madness of Wembley. "A big thanks also goes to Data Migrator for sponsoring the livestream and the Railway for hosting. "We had more than 6,000 people tuned in for most of it and we raised a good amount of money for a cause so close to my heart too." Advertisement Among those to join Chris for interviews were Darryl Flahavan, Justin Rees, Steve Tilson, Tom Lawrence, Daniel Cowan, Barry Corr, Duncan Jupp and Jason Demetriou. Chris also spoke with Mitchell Drew - the young fan he memorably photographed cleaning the never give up sign at Roots Hall - plus several supporters who have flown in from all around the world to be at Wembley. National League expert Sam Collyer also gave his views on Sunday's game. Chris added: "The stream can still be watched via my Twitter channel and on Facebook for anyone who might be interested. "People can still donate too."
