Paul Hunter RIP

[Skint Gull]

RIP Paul - thoughts are with his poor wife & kids

 

[Motogull]

Christ that is a shock.

He did superstars recently didn't he? Must have known he stood little chance but fair play for having a go.

Hopefully he won enough so his family won't struggle financially.

RIP

[Tooting Gull]

Very, very sad. We have had a couple of threads mentioning him on here. I did know him, and said on those that his near-total lack of self-pity was truly humbling.

I began to fear the worst when he did not personally appear at a charity fundraiser for which he was guest of honour three weeks ago. He'd have done anything to be there, so it didn't look good.

A very good player, a great guy and a huge loss, most of all of course to his wife and baby daughter but also his sport.

I'll guarantee one thing - the tributes will be fulsome and wholly genuine. He was a very popular player on the circuit and will be much missed.

 

[Billy the Fish]

I'm speechless. This is sad, sad news.
RIP Paul

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I am absolutely gobsmacked to read that, possibly one of the saddest losses in sport I can remember. I saw him make a comeback on tv recently and it was clear his game had not recovered and he still looked ill. I remember thinking how brave he was. He had it all, talent, charisma, looks and fame. I thought he was beating the disease, so this is a massive shock. My heart goes out to his wife and young daughter. 27 is no age to die.

R.I.P. Paul Hunter.

This makes me realise how fortunate that I was that Royal Surrey in Guildford diagnosed my cancer and operated quickly.

I was really shocked when I read this, thought he'd got the better of it. As others have said, this shows just how little of a fuss he made about it. RIP.

Puts my shit life into prospective

R.I.P.

 

[Starry]

Damn. He was at the football not three weeks ago

RIP Paul, you'll be missed.

I hope the powers that be at Leeds give him a one minute silence on Saturday. Don't really like them but he was one of our own and deserves that at least.
