Irvine, Sammy Grew up with Sammy in Drumchapel. We played in the original Drummy Thistle team and school teams. I remember getting well beaten, 5-1,by St Pius in a cup final. Sammy was outside right and I was inside right. We were 10 years old and so wee!
Sammy always stood out on the football pitch, great player but very modest. I won’t mention the 4th year disco but there was an ambulance and a mint aero chocolate bar involved!!

Irvine, Sammy Gifted midfielder when at Shrewsbury. Alan Durban (Player Manager at the time) took him under his wing and really developed him. Was one of my favourite Shrewsbury players along with Alex McGregor.
