Cobblers’ legend Ian Sampson has landed the managers’ job on a full time basis as he was officially named boss of Northampton Town this afternoon. Sammo has been steadily improving the side over the last few weeks and the fight, determination and heart of the group can not be questioned any more after the last couple of performances.
The former Town defender made 449 appearances for the club, agonisingly falling short of what could have been a dream farewell in the playoff final in game 450 when we were beaten at Mansfield Town in the dramatic semi final shoot out of 2004. Sammo had partnered Ray Warburton in a solid defence as the Cobblers reached Wembley in 1997 and 1998 and was within touching distance of the Championship before Grimsby Town ruined our day on that second appearance under the twin towers.
He’s now been given the job on a full time basis until the end of the season where it will more than likely be reviewed based on the previous months.
