Scubby Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Zook Ema was a real RL name from my childhood. Sad news RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 So very sad. Watched him play from his Colt days through to his first team appearances. A very powerful forward who gave his all for the team and part of the pack that had Mark Broadhurst as the other prop. The people of Hull knew that he had been battling against cancer but it is still awful news. He was also a very nice bloke to meet and a Fireman in the local brigade. Thanks for some great memories Zook. RIP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Zook. 2 Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?" Jake Connor : "I don't know, to be honest I haven't spoken to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless and a relentless trier in a lost cause. God, we could have done with him at Odsal today.

Thanks for some great memories Zook. RIP. I packed down opposite Zook in what I think was his first pre-season game as a first team player. The bloke was as strong as a bull even at that age. I'm really sorry to hear he's passed away. 1 Old Faithful we never lose at Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumby Magic Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 One of my first autographs as a kid. I'm a Bradford fan as most will know. He was one of my, I suppose they call them cult heroes at the time. Built like an absolute machine. RIP. Thanks for the memories. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
