Baggys battle bus Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Rest in peace Sammy. Epitomised everything what was good about away days watching Wednesday in the 70s and recalling him being held shoulder high on the kop while everyone sang his name TOP MAN !!!!!!!!

I've never seen anyone climb up things that looked unclimbable like he could, he was doing Parkur 40 years before it was invented ..

Sammy was totally bonkers, but he became a sort of mascot/god in the 70's, the footy was that terrible we needed an outlet, Sammy was it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horny owl Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It’s weird but especially at away days I see young uns playing up and acting daft and I think to myself if Sammy saw you he’d laugh and show you how to take it to the next level.
