Cookie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Age 77. Sad news. An extremely nice person,great friend and a magnificent & professional sports editor for the Gazette . The best I've known in my years. Will be sadly missed. Rest in peace Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Trice Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sorry to hear that, my site would be far duller (and most of you thought that wasn't possible..) without a mass of local press quotes, a huge amount of which came from Dave's pen. A true stalwart of the local press as all hardy Hartsdown patrons would surely agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffin Ender Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 A real character. I think it would be fair to say he didn't always see eye-to-eye with the people running the club, but then that's true of quite a few of us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEREK Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 He and Sammy worked together on away games, Sammy would scratch a report and Dave would put it together. Coinsidence ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Trice Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Sam passed on the job of writing match reports for the Thanet Extra to me during the 1989/90 season and I got a mention in Dave Cooper's farewell article in the Gazette / Thanet Times so there's another link !
