Yes, I was just thinking that as a teenager in the Fulwell I used to sing that, though I seem to remember it ended 'Sammy is our king!'
I thought we sang it in lower case but it must have been capitals :D
But I think we did sing at a proper speed in those days ... I blame austerity for the cuts in music lessons in schools ...

RIP Sammy the Chin, he could always be relied upon to keep us entertained with his antics at away games during the 70’s

Nice, cheers vauxie
 
I remember years ago Sammy drinking in Ryhope Cricket Club after a match and was showing everyone his new mobile phone. He had just got one - mobile phones hadn’t been out long. Anyway it rang and he nearly shit himself as he wasn’t expecting it. When he did finally answer everyone was dead quiet and waiting to see what he would say. His first words to whoever had phoned him were ‘how did you know I was in the cricket club?’. There was blokes crying with laughter yet he didn’t have a clue why.

For those who don’t/didn’t know him, that was Sammy all over.

The skin came after an away game at Everton on RK's bus, bus got trashed after the game we all finished up in Blackpool for the night, next morning we got pelted of the coach on the A1M Sunderland / Durham and there was a bit of a falling out Celtic finished up getting a hiding (mainly due to the hair being easy to get hold off) next week when I saw him the lot had gone and he was a skin. Remember it well I got stabbed in the ground when it all kicked off.

I swear the exact same thing happened one Saturday afternoon some years ago in Ryhope Top Club.
I was sat with my mates and Sammy when his phone rang, and he just couldn't understand how the caller knew he was in the Top club. :lol:
