Anyone remember Hao Hai Dong?
If he'd got a game up front with Marcus Bent the forward two in the lineup would have been "Bent Dong" Sorry, is that racist?

Knowing this innocuous origin I have no problem saying me old China to acquaintances. Of course using it to address a stranger of Far East origin bit diff don’t you think?Stop using common sense to explain an age old English dialect tradition.

Wonder if he's still about. At least he was a proper character and supporter not like that plastic, look at me, tub of lard who'll be at the front in the game against Chelsea. They used to throw Sammy up and down the Pigkop, used to see him in town with a Pig flag around his shoulders. Just couldn't dislike him which for a pig doesn't sit well with me.Reminds me of a story I heard about a chap called " Mad Sammy " who used to be a pin up pig fan in the 70's and early 80's . On a trip to Cardiff one year and a stop off in a Chinese takeaway on the way back he stunned onlookers by racially abusing the takeaway staff by calling them all Welsh cunts![]()

Bloke sat next to me at the QPR game that I’d never seen before. I couldn’t help staring at him because the colour of his skin was dark green!
I heard him shout a few times and he sounded like he was Australian, so I picked up the courage to ask him. “Excuse me Sir, but are you Australian?”
He said, “No, I’m a Kiwi”.

Remember Sammy. Pigs used to sing a song to him.
As others said, couldn't dislike him. A genuine fan and bloke unlike the morbidly obese naked cunt they have now.
Sammy and a young Martin Samuels....

I remember Sammy, he was a real character and always in town. He seemed harmless enough, was often cajoled into doing daft stunts by other pig fans. I remember being in a pub one night (Museum or top Three Tuns, Leopold street area), and it was pretty much 50/50 pigs and Blades fans. I could see these lads whispering in Sammy's ear, egging him on, next thing he starts shouting some pro-pigs, anti Blades type stuff and the atmosphere started changing. I think he was oblivious to the fact that a strong gust of wind would have knocked him over (not being nasty, he was a very skinny lad).
A few Blades lads started shouting back, a bit of pushing and shoving and the lads who had egged him on legged it, pretty much leaving him alone. He hadn't noticed at first, and was singing something (can't remember what) and doing a sort of Irish jig, hopping from leg to leg. He said something to a handful of other pigs like "come on, let's have 'em", but they legged it as well.
Luckily, a couple of older hard case Blades either knew him, or could see he was no threat at all, and while it could have turned really nasty (for Sammy), this one big bloke just looked at the younger Blades, and said "leave it". That was all he had to say.
The song they used to sing was to the tune of the old Al Jolson song, "Mammy", but the words were changed to.
"...Sammy, Sammy
I'd walk a mile and a bit
to push your face in some shit
oh Sammy.."
There were variations, but that is the one I remember lads singing, as they walked with him round town on a Saturday afternoon.
They look like one of the early, less successful Factory Records acts.
