Bye David, what you did for Victorian Cricket will never be forgotten.

Going to miss his voice each night on 3AW.

Assuming the match goes ahead, i urge all Victorians to go to the match on Friday to pay tribute to a bloke who touched both Victorian and South Australian cricket. I'll be there.

RIP David Hookes

 

[Kapow!!!]

He will be missed deeply

Rest In Peace Hooksey, RIP

Justice will never be served, as we cannot have Hooksey back.

Hooksey, thank you for your contribution to Cricket at all levels. A job that will sadly never be finished. RIP.

RIP Hookesy. I hope a huge crowd gets the the game this week to pay their respects.

 

[Thrawn]

I'd like to add my condolences too:

Even though I didn't have much intrest in his playing career, I have always respected the man. I chatted to him once... he was a great bloke, and it's terrbile to see what has transpired. He was a great media personality too, and I will miss his calls.

RIP Hooksey. I can't believe it.

A massive shock to hear this morning and now Dwayne Russell just read out the media release of his passing on 3AW (don't know how Dwayne did that either, gusty effort).

Had a wonderful cricket career, and a tremendous influence on the Vic cricket team this year.

A very nasty way for someone to go.

Just thought i'd post a quote from David which i think summed his personality and sense of humour perfectly.

"When they give out the baggy blue cap in New South Wales, they give you a baggy green cap in a brown paper bag as well to save making two presentations." - David Hookes

Sad day for cricket - but I'm willing to be Trevor Hohns won't be sorry not to wake up in the morning and having to read his comments.

The bloke he did this will have a life expectancy of about 12 hours in prison.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

The Bushrangers will win the Pura Cup for David, he deserves no less.

He single-handedly turned our state around, but sadly never got to see the result of his hard work.

R.I.P hooksey, i didnt know much about him but i did listen to him on the radio a few times.
Very very sad way to end a life, the guy that did it is gutless, and even worse he comes from my area as well( he was from st albans wasnt he?) , well i hope he gets what he deserves.

I want to add, that the government better do something about the security industry. His passing cannot be in vain.

Condolences to his family and friends. He seemed to be always pushing for what was right in cricket.

The saddest thing was that David was just entering a new phase in his life.
He was so happy with his role as Victorian Coach, it was the happiest time in his life.

R.I.P. HOOKSEY.....


~~~~~
The Homicide Squad will now withdraw that assault charge and replace it with...
"...At StKilda did Murder one David Hookes...".

~~~~~

Let's hope it's a long long sentence at Port Phillip Prison for the Bogan Crowd Controller.

this is the worst thing to happen to australian cricket in decades.

It's harder to take than when Don passed on.

RIP Hookesy.

You won't be forgotten, thats for sure.
