We played Oldham away on Good Friday 1978 and we were drinking in a pub on the Rochdale Rd.

Sammy was acting himself a bit and eventually the landlord had enough of him.

It must have taken 20 minutes before he finally persuaded him to leave the pub, at which point the barman let out a sigh of relief.

Within seconds Sammy appears behind the bar to the cheers of all of us.

I remember most of the 1970's away stories with Sammy that's been posted on here.
@Vauxie - I missed the Cardiff away game - can't remember why like - as I always travelled with Tommy Lynn to the away games.
I remember Sammy down at Norwich in this pub - as per usual up on the table top singing "Tell Laura I love her" - he was pissed as a fart - and fell off the f***ing thing, smashing glasses etc on the table and adjoining tables on his way down onto the floor. He got up, dusted himself down with the broken glass, fag ends from the ash-tray etc, and jumped up onto the pool table - and continued:lol::lol:

Happy days, - R.I.P. Sammy

RIP Sammy, many memories stirred last few days here, brought back the days when we had many ‘lads’ each estate seemed to have a crew, Farra, Red House, Southwick Grangetown etc etc etc , also Seaham Peterlee etc etc, we would all form a big army at away games, and if owt was happening here word quickly spread long before mobiles.happy days indeed!
