Hooper visits Cronje’s grave
JOHANNESBURG, Feb 5: West Indies skipper Carl Hooper has laid a wreath in memory of disgraced former South Africa captain Hansie Cronje, the Star reported on Wednesday.
Cronje, who was banned for life in 2000 after admitting he helped influence matches in league with bookmakers, was killed in a plane crash last year at the age of 32.
Hooper was accompanied by his wife Constance and son Carl when he laid the flowers at the Wall of Remembrance for Fallen Heroes at Grey College in Bloemfontein, where Cronje went to school.
A wall plaque reads: “Hansie Cronje, Sept 23, 1969 — June 1, 2002. Die Here is my herder (The Lord is my shepherd).”—Reuters
