It is with great sadness that I inform you all of the death of bleep1673, David Hesketh. He was a true die hard fan of rugby league. He was looking forward to going to Toulouse to watch a match in August. He lived, breathed and died rugby. His first gift to our daughter was a tiny rugby ball. As soon as she could walk properly, taught her how to tackle. In his will he wrote that he wanted his death to be announced here. Thank you for the banter, it truly brightened his days.

Very sad news.

I'm deeply saddened to hear this. RIP David. 

Edit. I've just found myself shedding a couple of tears. I used to talk to David a lot. We are all going to miss him enormously!

Rest In Peace David.

Always remember one of the weeks when he entered the NFL competition he picked the winners by giving me the NHL team's name who played in that particular city.

Good bye, David.

You were pretty good for a Swinton fan. I even forgave you for calling Salford, "the Pinks".

Thanks for the banter. RIP.

Sad news in deed. He had demons but will be missed. He must have only  been in his early 60s.

Even forgive him being a s Swinton Fan

RIP

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

As a long time reader and lurker of this forum I remember this guy and he seemed to be quite a troubled individual. Nonetheless, and although I never knew him, it's always sad to hear about things like this. RIP

He did indeed, as has already been said, he apparently had his demons and seemed to often be at odds with society in general but plenty of us are. Contributed a lot to this forum.

RIP mate

Just to clarify, that wasn't a criticism of the guy. Just an observation.

A pretty accurate one, I would say, again, not a criticism.

Throughout his troubles and problems the thing I remember shining out from Bleep’s posts was his absolute and unconditional love for his daughter.

His daughter always seemed to be his whole world. Sharing his fav films with her.

My condolences for your loss.

It really is heartening to hear that this site brightened David's days.  We are a moody and grumpy bunch sometimes but there is a real sense of community as well.

My thoughts are with you and your daughter.

Very sorry to hear the sad news.

I used to enjoy his reminisces about his student and amateur rugby league days because they were more or less contemporary with my own. Seem to remember he liked a bit of cycling too.

Condolences to his loved ones, they clearly meant a lot to him.
