iv seen that before!! I come from leven and used to go to the games and stuff and cannot remeber this guy!! Was wondering if anyone knew from not lookin at the web?

Did this not appear on here a few months ago? I've been looking at the guys website (http://www.makkitrainingacademy.com/). Seems a load of crap to me.

"One day while I was at the beach, I juggled 3,516 times without dropping the ball!"

"
The best, most memorable goal that I scored was in an international tournament which included 30 different teams from different nations. I was playing with the Irish Army in the final versus a team from Ghana. I scored the winning goal with a bicycle kick from the 18 yard line. "

He allegedly was with us at a time when Steve Kirk was in charge.
Steph is a well known local guy. Perhaps someone can ask him if he remembers this character. He sure as hell never featured in the first team.

This is comedy gold.

are ye sure its not ken mackie

He works in Michigan, USA as a coach and I have coached against him. His CV is on his Email Signature so I looked him up and couldnt believe it when I seen he had referenced East Fife.

so what's the word? is he just making this up?

Great player in his day.....according to him!! Another Terry Lawrence methinks!!!

sam was a great player I know him from the Irish army team, did play for as long as 10years for that team he change his name when left scotland but he did help train east fife and did play for many teams,before got enjoyrd,he is a great coach.

I certainly don't recall the name.

Maybe he'll come on and ask us if we want a share in $10 million Canadian dollers, if we send the proper info!

COACH MAKKI HAS coach and train my kids for 9 years I cant say nothing but great things about him.no matter where he is from I and my kids will always have respic and big thank you for helping them play in college soccer.I say him play here in michigan he is a very good player even for his age now,but he is very respectful if you talk to him so please people stop your what ever your trying too ,,,

This is hilarious!

Hhm and Paddy obviously have the same IP (did I even need to check?! lol).

Love how the guy has now apparently changed his name since leaving Scotland. Cos that happens all the time.

There's a picture of Makki on his site -

Anyone recognise him???!

He seems to have dropped the whole East Fife thing now and just says Scottish Second Division team

Someone should check with the SFA to see if they've even heard of him and whether those coaching qualifications were indeed earned.

I think there are a few red herrings being posted here. Amateur historians like Jim C don't have the data to solve this kind of problem. Sam Makki is in fact the famous Japanese player Kammaksi otherwise known as the human anagram. He could have been one of the countries top defenders but constantly gave away penalties by diving headlong into tackles in a way that was almost suicidal.
Before a game he would relax by putting on a white headband and drink a cup of sake.

I have already posted about this before. He stayed with my mate in methil and came over from the lebanon having asked clubs if he could get coaching experience. He helped the east fife youths but he did not ever play for the first team end off

Was he any relation to Ken?

Coat, etc....

I know this guy and some of the post`s on here about him are bordering on the ridiculous.

He was indeed involved at East Fife and could and should have made more of his time at the club but an error of judgement sealed his fate when he recommended the club sign David "Black" Duncan aka Bawki as a forward and adaptable local amateur player Jim "Patsy" Paterson as a Goalkeeper.

His family also have a decent local pedigree with a street in Leven being named after them. How many people who stay in Mackie Avenue knew that?

paddy is my dad.i dont know why some peole are just jorks,coach makki was my coach for many years he is one of the coaches i respect,why you people care about minder things the past is the past what we do now it matters,and god bless you all

I`ve heard from a very, very reliable source that Sam Makki, Terry Lawrence and Lucy Effc Jean will be attending the next home match.

Look forward to seeing them all.

Will they be introduced to the crowd at half time to rapturous applause?
