London Dave was referring to previous posts which I have deleted. Other posts in this thread have been edited slightly.

I do understand people's anger and deep sense of loss but can we please just pay tribute to Hookesy and express our condolences, at this early stage.

Rest in Peace Hookesy. What a sad, sad day. Condolences to the family.

For some reason I'm finding this really hard to take. I'm not sitting here crying or sobbing for him, but I am just filled with anger, maybe it's just the surreal nature of it.

Like someone said on the radio before "I didn't know him, but we all knew him".

RIP Hookes.

It's a standard condition of bail Dale. Justice, not vengeance, will be served.

It is a very sad day we have lost a bloke who was a bloke, there was no crap with hooksy at times he would drive us up the wall with some of his collingwood stuff but we appreciated it more from him because of who he was yet he wasnt spiteful or vindictive if he thought you were a dickhead he'd call you one thats what i loved about him he was a mans man.
And let me tell you the guy was a champion cricketer, the world will be a sorrier place without guys like him he was from the old school and boys from the old school never die

We're gonna miss him on 3aw and cricket in general will miss him tenfold.
What a tragedy it shouldnt suprise us that violence and thuggery have become a part of what we've all become only last week our champion boxer jeff fenech was attacked in sydney and could have been killed very easily. The world has become a shockingly violent place and one wonders where will it all end.
RIP champion you've earnt it.

As stated in a previous post....

Very sad day. Hooksey was a real hero to me when I played cricket. He was a star. Never met him but a close mate who knew him well says he was a top bloke, well respected.
BTW, agree with every word you wrote Joffa.

Rest in Peace you awesome legend, Hooksey.

Condolences to the hooks family and to the entire sporting community on losing someone like david.

Never afraid to speak his mind and stick up for his mates which is a trait missing in today's society

R.I.P

Hope to see the Bushrangers go on to win the ING/Pura Cup in 03/04 in his honor.

Condolences to the family and close friends of the Hookes family. It's such a tragedy to lose anyone in this way and even though I've never met David Hookes it's still devestating to lose a sporting idol who was still in the prime of his life. R.I.P. Hookesy.

TO the HOOKES FAMILY, the ACB, VCA, SACA, 3AW, FOX SPORTS (and any one else who ive missed out) who knew David both professionally and personally.

How sad that you played your last test match when Steve Waugh played his first!

Your memory will live on hopefully in the form of say a charity match every year between your beloved South Australia and Your Adopted Victoria

R.I.P DAVID

FROM THE COLLINGWOOD FAMILY

Side by side we stick together!!!

I still can't believe it. I'm just shattered. Hooksy was my early idol along with Wayne Phillips - yeah I'm left handed.

RIP mate...couldn't stand your commentary but it was all in fun and you did your job perfectly.

My thoughts are with the Hookes family. My god this is such a shame.
