I was at Peterborough one year and he got ejected from the ground 3 times for standing on the barrier while everyone sang to him. "I'd walk a million miles for one o' your smiles, Sammeeeee" Good old bad old days :clap:

I remember Sammy from the 70’s. He had polio and couldn’t speak properly. He was well known on the kop. He used to live in the Woodhouse area. He came on my mates stag night and entertained us all night until the night club where bouncers wouldn’t let him in.

When we used to sing Sammmmy on the kop, he loved the attention....Top fella.

sammy is ok ,i see him reg at hackenthorpe,and he lives around there with his family,if you want to catch him he goes and chats with the tyre guys across from the blue bell in main st hackenthorpe,oh hes still same old sammy heeeeeeee.

Remember Sammy well from the bad old days of the mid 70's when we where in the old 3rd Division - so few fans we used the Leppings Lane as the home end for a couple of seasons.

Somebody always used to get Sammy up their shoulders for him to lead the singing (or wave his scarf) and we'd all break into "I'd walk a million miles...........".

Glad to here he's about and well.

I personally don't remember Fat Sid, although I do know he is a legend. I think he has sadly passed away, a few years ago.

If you want to know more then read my mates book.
'Flying with the Owls Crime Squad' it's a great book, and Sid (amongst others gets a mention)

thanks for that ovabulrogue

sammy is alive and well saw him on the 97 bus last year had a chat with himthink he lives in the parson cross area

Sids dead? I didnt know that. He used to go to the away matches with us from the staniforth arms and the Sportsman in 70s. The last I saw of him was outside the Sportsman on worksop rd about 10-12 years back

'Flying with the Owls Crime Squad' it mentions in there that Fat Sid is no longer with us.
