I was a little kid at the game when Paul Stratford got his first hat-trick at 19 (listed in the records). Sam only needs 4 more to overtake who I consider the best striker I have seen in a Cobblers shirt.
If you've watched Sam and he overtakes Paul, will you then consider him the best striker you have ever seen in a Cobblers shirt?

Sentiment would never allow that. As far as I am concerned Stratty was better than Messi. Seriously as a little kid to me he was a superstar. One Saturday night my parents took me down the Monks Park club to have a meet up with the rest of the extended family. Paul was in there with his Mum and Dad having a quiet night. I saw him and nearly lost my mind. Somehow I managed to work up the courage to go and ask him for his autograph. I swear to god my legs nearly went from under me doing it. I’ve never forgot it, and he probably single handedly launched my obsession with the cobblers. Absolutely devastated when he had to retire at 22. Perhaps somewhere there is a little kid having exactly the same feelings about Sammy, I hope so.

Ha, yes a familiar tale doubtless told by thousands of middle aged men over the years. The time, venue and names will vary but the sentiment will remain the same.

Ah yes, Manwork’s love for Hoskins is only rivalled by mysterious curle’s love of Appere!

He likes to wave the Union Flag, and would loathe being called "Irish".

it's the equivalent of picking someone on a sunday morning because "he turns up every week and collects the subs"
Should imagine you will regret that opinion.

Really. You would never know.. He's always been very modest about such things 😛 On a more serious note. Like you, I do hope all is well with him.

I pm’d him a couple of weeks ago to make sure he was ok. Heard nothing back.
