Title: Senior Account Manager
Team: Portsmouth FC

If it’s not going to football, Sam gets his sport fix by consuming nearly everything under the sun. From rugby to NFL to baseball, he watches too much of it, and isn’t averse to a cheeky wager on every game as well.


Unfortunately in his role as office DJ, Sam also exposes the team to his peculiar loves of country, Year 2000s pop, and house music – not all of which is welcome at 9am on a Monday!

Title: Senior Account Manager
Team: Oldham Athletic

Nearly the oldest person at SITA, not that you’d guess from his sense of humour, Dan’s lustrous oversupply of grey hair stems from his commitment to the UK’s least successful football club.

Enjoys tinkering in the kitchen where chilli and garlic get added to almost everything. When he’s not doing that, he enjoys drinking responsibly, occasionally immersing himself in his PS5 or rolling his eyes as Latics concede yet another goal. Also trying to reignite a tolerance for running. Not going well.

“World-class” singer after two pints and voice of ten men always.

Outside of watching sports, Sam enjoys collecting rare sports and music memorabilia, building Lego sets and walking his Spaniel Ozzy (named after the heavy metal legend). If that wasn’t enough to keep him busy, he’s currently writing a book on the growth of the World Wide Web and internet culture in the 2000s.
