The real life 50 First Dates: Teenager concussed by horrific rugby tackle woke up every morning not knowing who his family were

Sam Tai's memory completely wiped itself every 24 hours, like Drew Barrymore's character in the film 50 First Dates (top right). 


As a result of brain damage during a rugby match earlier this year, the 17-year-old from York had to relearn his entire life - including who his parents are - only to forget them again the next morning. He would work out what type of music he liked by searching his YouTube history, and could not remember doing his GCSEs. Now, the teenager has beaten his amnesia and incredibly, he has regained every single memory.
