Paul Hampshire RIP

[Dave Deacon]

Just heard some sad news that Paul Hampshire has died after being hit by a car last night. This happened back in Scotland, his home country.

Paul will be remembered mostly I would imagine in Cornish football for his time with Newquay. Described as a “class act” to me just now and certainly a magic midfielder with a wondrous left foot.

Instrumental in the Peppermints season when they finished champions of Division One West 2011-12.

Condolences go to his family and friends from all of us in Cornwall.

Terribly sad news. Such a young man with a young family. Hammy was classy on & off the pitch, a great guy to work with. Thoughts with his nearest & dearest. RIP Hammy.

Very sad news. Top guy and a brilliant player with a wand of a left foot. Made the game look very easy and was always enjoyable to play against him. RIP Paul

Very Sad News. Paul was a great Guy and friend and will be sorely missed by all his friends at Newquay

Paul was a great footballer  and one of the best to don a Newquay shirt.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Pauls family at this very sad time

This is the most awful news I could hear, Hammy was a unbelievable footballer without doubt head and shoulders above anything I’ve played alongside terrific engine sweet left foot winners mentality and proper team player leave it all out there, he had a quick witty sense of humour and  cheeky smile that I’ll never forget he was just a fantastic person all round, all my love and condolences go to  Lisa and the family 

 

RIP hammy
