Not too many 'legends' suddenly retire when they have over a year and a half of their contract left. I never said he was. I wouldn’t rate him in my top st Mirren keepers I’ve seen. He has been a good signing though, contrary to what Shull would say. Not many people have been put in the position but do I think keepers like Money, Combe, Ludo at the age of 34 would have been tempted by such offers from a club the size of Sunderland? Absolutely.

I dont think Sammy was anywhere near the best keeper we ever had but he was certainly wasnt as bad as some would have you believe. A very good keeper for Saints. Over 130 appearances, League cup winner, Championship winner, Penalty saver extraordinaire, home clean sheet record holder & thoroughly decent guy. Whats not to like ?

Correct. As for retiring now: The guy is moving up in salary and, at a guess, perhaps also length of contract. Inconvenient for us of course. I thank him for his service and accomplishments here and wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to list a top 10 of Saints' keepers, I think Sammy would be in there. The exact position difficult to say, but you can judge for yourself. I don't think I've left anyone out that is obvious, but my failing memory might be playing tricks on me! Obviously I can only comment on the keepers that I've seen! Here's my attempt at a top 10: 1. Campbell Money 2. Denis Connaghan 3. Billy Thompson 4. Campbell Forsyth 5. Ally Hunter 6. Jim Herriot 7. Craig Samson 8. Gordon Marshall 9. Ludovic Roy 10. Pat Liney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamlet Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 What about Dave Walker, Scottish Cup winner or colourful Jimmy Brown etc etc and back to subject Samson correct to accept what in his judgement will improve his standard of living. As any sensible person would. Forget having a " contract" . As we continue to read football is different from any other business and that is certainly true when it comes to contracts. Clubs continually sell players before the players contracts are completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
