Thank you for visiting this website in memory of Sam, my wonderful brother, my best friend and soul mate. Words cannot express how much we all miss him.

There are special people who touch our lives in a certain way and having known them we will never be the same again. I am sure that you will all agree, Sam was definitely one of these people. Sam touched so many people’s lives and was always so kind and considerate of others.

He was a brilliant sportsman and absolutely adored football. A big part of his life included work with disabled people through Football in the Community at Tranmere Rovers F.C. Sam wanted everyone who shared his love of football to be able to take part in the sport - whatever their circumstances. We’re so proud that a tournament has been set up in his name - The Sam Bencheikh Memorial Cup - and that The Sam Bencheikh Memorial Fund will continue to support football for people with disabilities through Football in the Community. It’s what Sam would have wanted.

To everyone who knew and loved Sam, please share these precious memories with us. We hope they bring you some comfort.
