Classy Sam Hammam

Just reading the Harry Redknap autobiography and was quite horrified to hear his story of when Sam Hammams Wimbledon came to Upton Park. SH had been seen entering the away dressing room, hours before the Wimbledon team had arrived with a handful of marker pens! After he had left, one of the ground staff had gone in and found that SH had scrawled obscene messages about Wimbledon players all over the walls! Harry Redknap, was livid and told the staff member to fetch a Policeman, it wasn't just that he thought an obscene and disrespectful act, but WHU had tours around the ground with parents and their kids before the teams arrived!
When confronted, SH denied any wrong doing and had the audacity to have a go at Harry Redknap for coming into their territory! Some might see it as high jinks, but for me, it shows the scumbag, classless side of SH. In the context of the book, it was given as an example of how the game had changed, Billy Bonds was the manager at the time, a gentleman who was old school and this type of incident really offended someone like him and led to him in Redknaps opinion, not being able to get to grips with management in the modern game.

Sam showing early "Soul Crew" type behaviour.

Did we ever get "Family Club of the Year" when Sam was in charge?

An obvious attempt to get his Wimbledon players wound up for the game. No different to taking an opposing managers comment slating your team and pinning it up on the dressing room wall to pump your players up.

It was one of many incidents mentioned by Redknap that he feels epitomised the changing face of modern football at many levels. This being an owner of a club at the top level and one you would think a respectable character behaving like some low life chav. He also mentions the behaviour of Joey Beauchamp, a player, given everything by West Ham and then on his first day crying like a baby,that he was homesick and when reasoned that he was now at a great club like West Ham, totally bewildered Bonds and Redknap by insisting he had made a big mistake and should have gone to second division Swindon These incidents were totally alien to an old school professional and gentleman like Billy Bonds and he really didn't know how to deal with them.

thanks for your reply lb.yes i can imagine some stuff would throw a old school bloke like bb.more probley made him think this isn,t for me.that joey fellow,i remember that.what i couldn,t get my head round was never mind the obvious west ham snub why would a homesick kid who played for oxford beg to go to one of their main rivals.?sure oxford and swindon had bad blood.that in it,s self shows a lack of respect.stuart pearce said in his book he had no probs woth derby but it would be disprectful to ever sign for them cos of his time at forest.there again pearce was proper.the game certainly has changed.no all for the better either

I don't know why I bother. Sometimes I really can be arsed.

It's total bollocks; It didn't happen that way. There may be or two who do know but I would imagine that they won't post it up.

I do know but don't give a f**k.

We, well I, support Cardiff City.
