    K.Hunt.

    Never liked him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    He was one of those players that even non-EL fans knew about(If they had any interest in football)

    He came on on Tuesday, and now he's retired...strange.

    Wish him luck though. Wonder will he stay in Ireland, or go home...

    Bohs need to buy a good replacement...I don't think O'Donnell or Heary(is it? The ginger one) are good enough.

    Boo! I was getting all moist for a moment.

    Hunt has retired due to family reasons. He was a very good player. All the best to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭ibh


    He was studying in DCU as well recently wasn't he??? Remember seeing something bout it on TV.

    Great player tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Draupnir


    Remember when he arrived at the club, he was my one of my favourite players when I was a schoolboy footballer, will be a loss to Bohs he was top quality and different class to 99% of eL footballers when he arrived at the club.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Gutted :(:(:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Strange timing, but family reasons cannot be argued with. A great player, one who I had hoped would have played for Cork City at some stage.

    Huge loss to Bohs though, so can't say I am too disappointed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Has he been playing recently?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Just back from injury, played against Riga and Derry, came on as a sub against Bray.

    Shocked by the news, absolute legend, one of the best, if not the best, players to ever grace the LOI. Gentleman off the pitch as well. Will be sorely missed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,965 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    Great player for Bohs and the League, he's one of those players who will never be replaced. Big loss to Bohs and the League as a whole.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,697 ✭✭✭ciaran76


    Yeah he will be a big loss but Bohs have had plenty of time to adapt without him but I dont think he is the type of player that can ever be replaced.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    greta player and will be missed but he has retired for understandable reasons, wish him the best and hope all works out for him!

    Why did you comment here?

    Did you not read the posts? He was a Bohs player.

    you tryna "buzz" Des again? He's been yonks at Bohs. 10 years or so


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    No, I meant it's a little unusual for an Irish player to have played in Hong Kong, I wasn't implying he was some kind of journeyman...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,850 ✭✭✭✭Nalz

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    OK, fair enough, for a player playing in the Irish league :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    The League of Ireland?

    The Irish League is North of the Border.




    :D:D

    We all knew he would walk this season, but assumed it would be because of the inevitible row with Nutsy. Shame its too look after a dying child, and ole ole monkeys coming on here asking does he play for Reading would do well to remember that.

    Nice guy (for a vermin player), and qulaity player (again, by black and tan standards anyway). I will always remember him coming out to Prague to cheer on the Rovers. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭podge018


    His kids aren't dying. They're very sick with a bowel illness, but will recover as they get older.

    I hate that line, it's bad for the league blah blah blah. This comment is bandied about way too often. How on earth is this bad for the league?
