Re: Kenny Sansom.

Samson , at his peak, was some player and arguably world class. West Brom had Derek Statham who in any other era would have collected a bag full of international caps but he hardly got a look in because of Samson.
To see such a talented athlete end up like this is always sad and hopefully he can turn it around.

Re: Kenny Sansom.

He scored his first Newcastle goal against us at Ninian Park. 13 October 1983. We lost 2-0. Beardsley and Keegan the scorers. Not a bad second tier partnership....

Ah right thanks for that, I didn't imagine it then :thumbup:

As you say, that is some strike partnership.
Keegan would have been at the top of his game then, all "Bullworker'd up".

Hi everyone, I'm back. I'm feeling good. I'm walking okay, but I couldn't play football. I know I'm improving, so that's good news. I'm going for walks every day. My memory is getting better too. Thanks to @Arsenal and Palace (@CPFC) for the new clothes. pic.twitter.com/gVcp7Vbd3s

Re: Kenny Sansom.

Re the OP, Sansom was automatic choice for England and the best English LB for a long time.
Boozing was what all most footballers seemed to do before charlie became fashionable.
As has been mentioned, KS seemed to have problems ever since retirement.

Re the other fella, I seem to remember seeing Beardsley play against us at Ninian Park of an evening and was a class above.
He scored at least one and we got beat something like 3 or 4 nil. Was it Newcastle? It was before he hit the big time with Liverpool and England.
Not sure if I dreamt this so don't know if anyone else remember.

What I do know for sure is that Beardsley on his day was unplayable.

think it was hartlepool he was here with towards the end of his career might be wrong

Re: Kenny Sansom.

I recall a story circulating about his time at Liverpool. apparently when wage rises were being determined and the players were going in to see the manager, his wife turned up and said basically, "I'm negotiating for Peter." She was a bit of a tyrant allegedly and she went in the office demanded what she wanted (not him) and they gave it to her just to get rid of the woman lol

She is awful to him
