Ahh Sammy, how many times did we laugh because I tried to convince you that yoghurts and chocolate mini-rolls were dangerous for Northerners so they should be given to Cockneys to look after……but you never fell for it and would laugh out loud and say “Oh do leave off Tony” or “Leave it out Tony!” with that huge smile of yours. Rest in peace Sammy, I’ll miss you lots and always think of you when I see the colour purple x
