Bio
Recruited from Werribee, Sam Cooke was a forward who earned a brief opportunity with Richmond during the club's formative years in the VFL. Born in Woori Yallock, he broke into the senior side during the 1909 season as the Tigers struggled to establish themselves in the competition. Cooke showed he could contribute on the scoreboard, booting two goals across his three games, but was unable to cement a regular place in the team. His stint at Punt Road was short-lived, and he departed the league following the conclusion of the season.
