Sam Ellis Reply

Got my cards back signed from Sam together with a short note from him.The first card was signed in felt pen which is very faint and not clear on the card,but the other is signed in biro and clearer.

 

Sam played as a centre-half for Sheffield Wednesday in the 1960s. He made his debut in the 1966 FA Cup final against Everton, in which his team lost 3–2. He then moved on to play for Mansfield Town, Lincoln City, and Watford. It was at Vicarage Road that he became coach and assistant manager to future England boss Graham Taylor. With Ellis' help, Watford climbed the divisions before turning down a new contract in favour of trying his hand at management. When the Blackpool job was advertised, Ellis applied and was given the job on 1 June 1982.

Ellis was manager at Blackpool until his contract was terminated on 28 March 1989,He then had a brief spell as manager of Bury before moving to Manchester City as Peter Reid's assistant manager. In 1994 he was appointed manager of Lincoln City before returning to Gigg Lane as Stan Ternent's assistant the following year. When Ternent moved to Burnley in 1998, Ellis followed him. After six years at Turf Moor, Ellis became assistant manager to Kevin Blackwell at Leeds United. Ellis later worked with Blackwell at Luton Town (after a spell at Stoke City) and, Sheffield United.
