Stuart Hooper

Very sad news today that Bath Rugby skipper Stuart Hooper has announced his injury-forced retirement from the game. Following 192 appearances in Blue, Black and White and five years as captain the tributes have been pouring in from all corners. Those who’ve played under and worked with him will attest to what an inspirational leader, role model and overall class act he’s been. Personally, I’ll let a few photos over the years do the talking…
