A Bit of Fun How many Sammy the Shrimp's have there been??!

[Piley66]

I can remember 4 Sammy outfits...

1. The current one
2. The cone head (also known as KKK Sammy!)
3. The pink thing
4. I'm sure there was another real moth eaten thing and the long tail used to drag along the ground. Anyone confirm? Even better, anyone have a pic??!

Special mentions of course to Elvis Eel and (Leo?) Lion!

Any info/pics on any missing SUFC mascots much appreciated!

One never saw Kevin Maher and Elvis J Eel in the same room at the same time.

I remember one in a suit at some point. The klu klux clam my mate used to call him

What about the one from the late 80s which looked like a giant walking pink dildo in an undertaker’s outfit?

Another, he pre-dated the current Sammy, Cone Head and the 70s Doctor Who monster.

I knew the guy who used to wear it. Called Keith, he used to get a free pint in the Shrimpers Bar in payment. I don't think that old tail coat outfit ever got a wash, it stank of damp as it was stuffed in a cupboard behind the bar after every game.

I liked the shrimp with the top hat.

It added a touch of class.

That's the one I'm thinking of! I think I knew of that guy too although didn't know his name. He worked in Victoria ave and was always in the works bar at lunchtime. Just can't locate any pics of 'that' Sammy. I never smelt it but it looked like it would stink!!

I miss how good the internet used to be, guarantee there where pics of the old mascots around.

I can see that 4th Sammy in my head but nothing on the net at all. Amazing! Hoping someone on here grabbed a shot at a game at some point

Definitely a black and white picture of him in a programme somewhere.

I genuinely dont remember that one.

Or maybe the trauma has blocked it out...
