Sampson Hosking

Sampson 'Shine' Hosking was an Australian rules footballer who played with and coached Port Adelaide in the SAFL.

Sampson started his league career in 1907 with Port Adelaide and by the time he retired in 1921 he had played 149 games (he later added two more as coach) and was a dual Magarey Medalist. He won his first award in 1910 and in 1915 was involved in a three way tie but ultimately lost in a count back to Frank Barry. In 1998 however the league awarded those who had lost in this fashion retrospective Medals and thus joined club greats Bob Quinn and Russell Ebert as the only Port Adelaide players to win the award twice. During his playing career Sampson also represented South Australia at interstate football, appearing 10 times in total.

In 1927 he became coach of Port Adelaide and guided the club to three premierships. He also coached West Torrens to a premiership in 1933 and the short lived merged Port Adelaide-West Torrens Football Club to a premiership during World War 2.
