The year 2005 could be described by historians as a bad one. Storms caused chaos throughout the planet, suicide bombers killed innocent people, not to mention war erupted between a certain Chinese guy and an arrogant Portuguese guy.

However one event occured that ensured that the year 2005 would be a good one - the emergence of The Sam and his club The Sam FC.

A man with better soccer skills than Pele or Maradona and more political powers than George W Bush, the emergence of The Sam was predicted by Nostradamus who described him as a cross between Goku and Captain Planet but with curly hair, and who would influence the game of soccer like no other.

A genuine world class footballer, The Sam is known for his pinpoint accurate passing, perfectly timed tackles and unmatchable ability to stack milk on the shelves at New World Thorndon.
His swashbuckling style of play, outrageous tricks and level of influence on the pitch represent the very embodiment of joga bonito and because of that The Sam is one of the worlds most respected individuals.

Success follows The Sam. He has won World Player of the Year 5 times and Employee of the Month 12 times and is on track to leading The Sam FC to a record 34th Victoria Indoor League title.

But there is another side to the founder of The Sam FC. He pursued a music career in 2004 and released an album called The Voice of The Sam. It was a major success with 'Little Franny Boo where are you?' and 'Seung Song' reaching number one in UK and USA.
He also sponsors a child in Africa for World Vision and recently visited Equatorial Guinea to feature in a Charity football match.

The year 2005 will be remembered as a good one. It will be forever written into the pages of history as The Year of The Sam.
