'Sami was a conscientious and much-liked student. He came to Queen Mary from Newham Collegiate Sixth Form Centre. He was promising applicant who was awarded an unconditional offer of a place to read history. This promise was entirely fulfilled in his first year of study and one of his tutors comments that he was an ‘exceptionally thoughtful person’ whose work showed him to be someone of genuine ‘intellectual integrity’. Another tutor remembers him as ‘very engaged and insightful in seminars’.', Julian Jackson. 

Every year, the History Department at Queen Mary, University of London and the QMUL History Society play a game of football to round the year off. We decided it would be a nice touch to hold the game in memory of Sami.
