Rip sammy , great memories

 

[SA Wolf]

Didn't realise we had lost Sammy. Sad loss of someone I remember well from my early days of supporting Wolves. RIP Sammy.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Rest in peace Sammy.

 

[SuperGran]

RIP Sammy very sad news

 

[Sheffield Wolf]

Manager when I started going in the 1970s.

Not sure they’d get away with the chant “Sammy Chung and his Chinese take-away”, these days.

RIP Sammy and thanks for your part in starting my lifelong addiction.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

RIP Sammy. Our first manager I was old enough to remember.

Sammy Chung | 1932-2022

Oh No loved him and Bill McGarry together
What an absolute tragedy
Thoughts and prayers to all his family and friends at this sad time

 

[jrpb-3]

won the league cup and got to UEFA cup final whilst he was assistant to McGarry, not quite as much success when he took over as manager, other than the promotion back to top flight.

RIP Sammy

 

[Wednesfield:wolfie]

Rest in Peace Boss you were one of the good guys.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Saw his name and dreaded the news. Worked with Sammy when he was in Social Services at Aldersley House. He coached the football team I played for (and played at CB occasionally) so got to know him quite well back in the 80's. Was a real gent, and although it's been a while have some fond memories.

RIP Sammy the world was a sadder place without you.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Second manager in my lifetime. Wasn’t he the bloke with the bucket and sponge under McGarry?

I am not entirely sure how this happened but it did when I was a young boy. My mother called up Wolves one summer to order me a Wolves satchel for school. Instead of being put through to the club shop she was put through to Sammy Chung by mistake. Totally unflustered he took down the details and a week later a Wolves bag arrived free of charge courtesy of Sammy. My mother would talk about it for years after saying what a nice man he was. Hope she meets him up there to thank him.

Rest in peace Sammy and thanks for all of the memories.

 

[Welford Wolf]

I met Sammy several times and he was always approachable, warm and friendly. He came to a Supporters Club Dinner at Molineux several years after his retirement and was just the same nice guy.

I know the players of that time thought the world of him and he did manage Wolves to promotion in the 70's.

Thoughts are with his family

RIP Sammy

This. I was a very young kid when Sammy was our manager and always remember him getting us promoted (I was about 5 at the time). Always had a soft spot for him. Sad news indeed.

[Torbay Wolf]

Starting going to the Mol in the 1975-6 season and one of the first big things I recall was hearing that Sammy had replaced Bill McGarry as Manager. Remember him walking past all us kids in the enclosure on the way to the bench before kick-off each Saturday.

R.I.P. Sammy.

 

[Timberwolf]

RIP Sammy. Sat in front of him at the Mol a couple of times around late 1980's.

 

[Macman]

Legend.

 

[JR’s Boots]

Remember being in the Forest home end (1978) behind the dug out with bits of brick being thrown at the Wolves dug out. Sammy stood there unflustered and uncowed as the objects bounced around him. RIP Sammy

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Legend.

Those really were the days my friend. RIP Sammy

 

[Berlin Wolf]

RIP Sammy. Never forgotten. You were Wolves manager of one of my favourite seasons 1976/77. 'Sammy Chung and his Golden Wanderes'.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

A sad loss indeed. Condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Norman Bell]

The two best goal scoring teams in my 50 years as a Wolves fan were the Graham Turner Third Division Champions of 1988/89 with 96 goals and Sammy Chung's Second Division Champions in 1976/77 who scored 84. What a feat it was that team had five players make it into double figures, King John Richards with 20, Kenny Hibbitt 17, Alan Sunderland 16, Steve Daley 13 and Bobby Gould 10.

Thanks for the Memories Sammy.

 

[Bahama Wolf]

Very good manager and genial gentleman. Condolences to his family, RIP Sammy
