STANSTED hold the record of EIGHT basement finishes but they have been ever present members of the league.

COGGESHALL TOWN finished bottom FIVE times in a sixteen season stay in the league.

SAFFRON WALDEN TOWN & STANSTED have finished in the highest position in the season after finishing bottom. TOWN had a season to forget in 97/98 but bounced back the next campaign to finish in third place and then were crowned champions in 99/00. The Airportmen finished bottom of the table in the first season followed by a third place finish in 72/73. 

Only EAST HAM UNITED in 1995/96 have failed to win a game in an Essex Senior League season.

COGGESHALL TOWN's goal difference of -116 in 1984/85 is still the worst goal difference recorded in a season.
