my friend sam

Sam was a rugby colleage and i'm proud to say, a friend of mine for nearly 10 years, we often played alongside each in the centre for Imperial RFC, his tackling was the strongest and bravest I have ever witnessed, many times he came out of a tackle and I saw that he was clearly dazed and in pain but rarely did Sam ask for treatment. One memory that springs to mind was when we were in the changing rooms before the game and the captain at the time was handing out the shirts, Sam tossed me his no.12 shirt and said "i'll take your no.13 i know you don't like wearing it", Sam had remembered that i had broken my collarbone twice whilst wearing it, to me that showed how Sam was always thinking of others. I know that Sam touched so many lives and I for one will miss him.
Rest peacefully my friend
