On Saturday 3 May, 2008, 17 year old Sam Davis played a game of football, had a schnitzel for dinner at the clubrooms, and then went out to a party to celebrate a friend’s birthday, just like he had many times before. Only this time, Sam didn’t come home. Sam’s life was tragically cut short when he fell victim to a one-punch assault.
