Sam?

Post: # 254527Post jzsbee »

I walked in to our local butchers yesterday with my 10 year-old Son who was wearing a Barnet shirt (kudos to him, no matter how dire or great we are doing he loves to wear his Barnet shirts). They guy behind the counter asked if he was a Barnet fan and we got chatting.

He told us that he played at Barnet from 1986 for a couple of years before going to Hendon, his name is Sam and he had quite a strong accent. As this was 4/5 years before I started attending games can anyone shed any light on who Sam is?

I have been racking my brain JZS and looking at my squad lists from that time. Sam is a name that is not coming up.
We had a Steve Cox in 86 and then 20 years later a Sam Cox. Are you getting in a muddle mate. :-)

Still there just frozen out. He's out in Brazil on world cup duty currently though.

Apparently he's on a fair whack at the 85%ers.

He's taking money off them and not playing? Excellent.

If you want to do the hard yards Hendon FC have a website page that has a list of former players. Unfortunately it is listed alphabetically by surname I gave up scanning at B ?

Have checked I can confirm there is no Sam on the Hendon website who played in the 80s or early 90s.

Surely the simplest solution is to go back to the butchers and ask him for his full name.

You could also ask him whether he actually played for the Barnet first team.

L :laugh: :y:

I suspect he would have been up to Trialist 40+ if he played for the club for 2 seasons before moving on.
