RIP Hookesy

RIP hooksy

thoughts go out to his family

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

How unbelievable is this? The bloke is on top of the world as a coach, celebrating, doing nothing wrong and bang, gone.

The sorrow I feel for his family is just indescribable.

 

[Damp Squarie]

The sweetest hitter of the ball ever to don the pads.
RIP Hookesy

Unfortunately, it's been confirmed. What a tragedy.

Been following this thread all day... it makes you question our society... don't really know what to say... farewell, and thanks...

Bloody stuffed up world we live in.

R.I.P Hookesy.

A great talent and a genuine entertainer.

You'll be sorely missed.

Such awful news. I never knew him, but was entertained by him on and off the field. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

 

[Catman]

He will be sorely missed by so many.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

R.I.P David.

Goodbye larrikan!!

To Hooksey's family my deepest condolences.

To the family of that guy my sympathies for the shame you must endure...

 

[Cupestar]

Tragic
I was too young to know him as a cricketer, but as a sporting personality, commentator and coach, he will be sorely missed.

Goodbye to a great Australian, and moreover, a great Victorian.

RIP Hookesy..

The injustice of it.. I find so hard to deal with.

Hope that sports lovers pay their respects by coming down to the MCG on Friday.

-ons.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Can we please keep this thread for tributes to David?

Talk of revenge and general speculation merely sullies what is a fine tribute to a great man.

Please leave the speculation for another thread, at another time.

Mate, You're not the only one who's upset, but please, that doesn't help, and racist violence isn't going to bring David Hookes back.

As most people have said our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time.

He has certainly left his mark on the cricketing world, unfortunately he had much more to give and at only 48 was cut down way before his time by nothing more than a street thug.

Sounds like a good idea mate but im pretty sure that the match will be postponed.
