Before the game today I went into Tesco and picked up a copy of 4-4-2 to look at, there was Super Sammy grinning from ear to ear on the front cover and inside was a picture of him celebrating a goal against Brighton last season. What a bloke. Off to football, buy a programme and have a look through and it's Sammy's A-Z. Good laugh, very witty bloke. What a legend. Rumour has it he's going to win Player of the Month this week as well. Absolutely marvellous, he must be delighted - national press coverage for him, recognition for his achievements, scoring freely, good results and the manager who was under fire a couple of months ago picks up the manager of the month award. Surely it can't get any better?
Let's fast-forward to Swindon v Bournemouth on a freezing cold Saturday afternoon in March, a crunch tie between two promotion contenders. A must win game to keep us in the title race. Undefeated in five games, riding the wave of renewed excitement at the club. It can't go wrong! Hang on, if there's one thing I've learnt from being a Swindon fan it's that nothing ever turns out like you want it to. Today was no exception.
I feel sorry for Sam. Deeply sorry and if I'd ever met him I'd apologise to him for everyone else being so shite. Every week he works his bollocks off for the team, he doesn't give up and he gives it everything he's got. He's scored over 20 goals in three consecutive seasons for this club and he cost us £50,000. His loyalty has remained solid and he's adored by every single fan of the club. Yet if he stays with us his career will go nowhere, simply put he deserves far better than us. Nobody would begrudge him a move away from Swindon and I've got little doubt that he would leave with as heavy a heart as we would all have. Unfortunately, it's inveitable. It's a bit like death really.
I have the utmost respect for him as a person and as a footballer, he could have thought 'fuck this, I don't have to play for this club' and thrown a strop a long time ago. Instead, he's knuckled down and continued to do what he's best at - score goals. I love him.
That is all.

I think that's a perfectly pitched point Mr Youth and I agree completely.
He's a fantastic talent and he's fiercely loyal, dedicated and passionate, and proud to wear the shirt, unlike half the wasters in this team.
He's only 23 and one day I'd love to see him wearing the 3 lions on his shirt.
Super, Super Sam...

Fucking love him, but remember Northampton? Maybe he's scared he'll stop scoring if he leaves. That's what we should try and convince him anyway....

if he did leave for a fair bit and King could get a few decent players in with that money, more precisely a goalscorer to replace Parkin, a decent defensive central midfielder and a right winger (a proper one please) then our team would be amazing for this division. Unfortunately i can see the transfer money paying off the VAT debt when the stadium plan goes tits up and st. modwen want out

Agree with bothsonic and pieman there!
Parkin is the model proffesioinal, and he's quite smart for a footballer!
But he is better than STFC, and we all know it. He will be in the championship next year whoever he's playing for, and hopefully we will get ATLEST 500k for him. The way the transfer market's going though its hard to say what will happen.
I wish we had 11 Sam Parkins on the field (not literally) and then we would win every game through determination and desire.
WE LOVE YOU SAM!

i think the term model professional sums ssp up perfectly. i only wish some of the other players would reward his hard work and 20 goals with the same.

SSP is a ledge. I'll be sad to see him go at the end of the season. If he ever comes back to the CG, I'l be giving him a great reception His mum and dad are very nice too, i was stood behing them in the away play off game. His mum hit my mate wth her handbag when he said he was gonna miss his penalty  |
