Samuel James Leitch (1927– 24 January 1980) was a British journalist and television sports presenter.
He came from a Scottish family but was born in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England.
He was head of sport at Thames Television at the time of his death.
Although the error has been attributed to commentators David Coleman or Frank Bough, it was Leitch who, when the Scottish football team Raith Rovers won a match, said "They'll be dancing in the streets of Raith tonight".
This was seen as a display of ignorance since Raith Rovers play in the town of Kirkcaldy.
