A tim here whos just found out my best mate has passed away, this was his fav song RIP Meggy we rose above the hatred, you in an orange band me in a green flute band it never stopped us being best mates :(
Blue nose agree. Any player. I hate hearing some Rangers fans singing songs about players like Tommy burn's. One of Scottish footballers best. Its disrespectful. Same songs came from Celtic. Songs about Davie Cooper and Fernando. IRS fans both club's could do without.
as a celtic fan for 40+ yrs i was brought up to respect Mr English and Mr Thomson both promising players of their day but by a cruel twist of fate Mr Thomson lost his life and Mr English so shaken he never recovered ,god rest the pair of them ,they played ther hearts out for their teams ,
Yip, a terrible tragedy, as you say, both were victims in differing ways. Sam English still holds the record as Rangers top scoring striker in the one season. his goal tally has never been beaten. As you say he never recovered from that tragic day.
Sammy English was my uncle.I can tell you that this was a pure accident and my uncle Sammy suffered for the rest of his life and that is a fact R.I.P. Uncle Sam
It is obvious it was an accident. Any fair minded person would accept that. John Thomson's family always believed it was an accident and if they believe that it should be good enough for anyone else.
Two great players whose career's were cruelly cut short before they had even reached their peak by an accidental collision. Poor Sam English was traumatised by what happened and he was never the same prolific goalscorer again after that.The taunting and abuse he suffered afterwards was nothing short of disgusting. We'll never know how good John and Sam could have been, but I think they both would have been all time greats and would have had memorable duels in the Old Firms RIP Sam and John.
Very sad that Thomson the Celtic keeper lost his life in this collision but it was clearly a tragic accident involvin two committed footballers one tryin to put the ball in the back of the net and the other tryin to prevent it!! John Thomson & Sam English R.I.P
Evan in something as tragic as this you still get some bile comments made ; it was a tragic accident one young man dying another one;s life never to be the same ; i;m a Celtic fan my brother is a Rangers fan we have many friends who are supporters of both clubs and when we meet we both want to win badly ; but some of the real poisonous stuff you hear really getting sick of it ; makes you really wonder is it all really worth it ; having real issues with some of the people on both sides
DAWN TUNE I do agree and believe me when I say the video was uploaded with the correct intentions. It was indeed a double tragedy. May they both rest peacefully.
Walking through the rain that night. I saw a amazing sight. Sammy lead the way with Baxter and Greg And copper looking after the side with Fernando one the other looking over us the main man stuff. On the other team Thomson burns with wee jimmy and Wilson. Wee have been blessed with some greats. Green or blue Its all the same. The love of the greatest game in the world. Its bigger than some religious rubbish that most fans if both club's. Are 90 bigot's. I am not for stopping it. Or the old firm would be just an other Darby. Its the best in the world because of the nonsense. But we work and live around each other. Their family and friends. Chill we are the people.
This is the first time I've seen the accident, not at all what I've been told. I was under the impression that Sam came in with his foot raised head height and not the 50/50 i see here. RIP Sam and Johnny. No one deserves to die at a football match.
It was a tragic accident poor bloody Sam he/ his reputation never was the same after he, was never the same then, much later mnd takes him God rest him
Rip to sam and john they both did nt deserve to die so sad don't put hate on deer sam it was a tragedy what happened John was a great man rip to all ❤🤍💙/💚🤍💛
Willie Maley was my husbands great great granda personaly i dont like him n never will but hey cant help what family u marry into lolz im a rangers fan through n through n sam english was one of my dads fav rangers players R.I.P Sam English . And R.I.P to my dad whom was a rangers fan for 83 years of his life now thats what i call dedicated to the best team in the world simply the best .
A very embittered person claiming a footballer is a murderer, it was a tragic accident in the days when goalkeepers dived at the forwards feet. Mind anyone who treats the hunger strikers as heroes, must of lost the logic of reason. RIP Sam English.
Your pathetic comments confirm you will always be known as an idiot ! In normal circumstances I would remove your comment however I shall allow it to remain as testament for your obvious twisted hatred !
Away and give me peace. He was a proud Ulsterman and was Protestant. You will no doubt belong to the same thought school that believes a devout Roman Catholic to be a Christian but a devout Protestant to be a bigot.
Brilliant video, the evil Willie Maley, could not help himself, by stoking the fires of hatred, in Glasgow. A shadow of a Manager compared to the mighty, Mr Bill Struth. Sam English was a great center forward, but unfortunately was caught up in a tragic accident, but because of Maley's bigotry, Sam was never the same again. Sam English, RIP
Sam English was hounded out of the Scottish game so I guess we could never know.....very little footage exists of either player so I don't know how you can tell 😉
+Raymie P statistics prove Willie Henderson was a better winger than Jimmy Johnstone....even your most successful manager opted to pick him for Scotland before Jinky.....do agree with those stats ?

Mate it was a sporting ACCIDENT and was nobody's fault.Just very sad.

people 2024
he looks like same player ;)
He had to live with that guilt the rest of his life
Nothing compared to what Johns family had to cope with.
first words of the song "he was a proud young protestant" ... that shows this club when in existence was a club sectarian hatred
Away and give me peace. He was a proud Ulsterman and was Protestant. You will no doubt belong to the same thought school that believes a devout Roman Catholic to be a Christian but a devout Protestant to be a bigot.
Lol so protestant is sectarian now ya plum. Get away from here this is about respecting 2 young footballers lives
Patrick Welsh Ironically you’re outing yourself as the bigot here.
Bit ritch welshy coming from the club of shame separate entity fc
But he was, you want the lyrics to lie?

Sam English, RIP
and big Jimmy mcgrory was much better!!
Sam English was hounded out of the Scottish game so I guess we could never know.....very little footage exists of either player so I don't know how you can tell 😉
+MrStruth they r called statistics!!!
+MrStruth he played for use for 2 years but he was the greatest ever!!Who r u kidding Mr struth!!
+Raymie P when did I ever claim Sam English was the greatest ever Mr Obsessed?
+Raymie P statistics prove Willie Henderson was a better winger than Jimmy Johnstone....even your most successful manager opted to pick him for Scotland before Jinky.....do agree with those stats ?
