If you stand in the centre of Reading and shout his name, the place turns into a ghost town as the locals run for safety.

fookin marvellous -I'd have been happy to pay the entrance fee just to watch him warm up before our matches - and often - that was worth the entrance fee - before the game even actually started
as winger said - 'he run like a damaged swan' but, I have never seen ball skills of the like, before or since
he'd definitely be a one of a list of guests of honour against leicester if everything goes according to plan (if it were my club)

That winning goal against Watford to help keep us up showed that he's superhuman.

That would have cost him a bob or two in T.Ps showboating fines.

Hoekstra is quite simply a God.
He may not have been able to run, and he had a weird neck twitch, but his skills were slinky-van-pinky.

I remember standing up to applaud a skill he'd just done down by the boothen / JS corner during one of the matches against Reading. What a player. Why don't we have him scouting for us or something?

To be fair I can do all of that.
But boasting aside, I seem to remember one of the Stoke players saying Martin Kolar was even better than Hoekstra at that kind of stuff.

I think if the match is boring, a big hooter should sound, and as play stops Hoekstra is wheeled onto the pitch in a giant clog. "Hoekstra Time!" screams the bloke on the PA (which, with the standard of our PA, will sound something like "grrrlb...fzz..mmmfff...hdgdtf" to the crowd). Then some firework go off, and Hoekstra cheekily runs out of a little door in the clog, and does a few minutes of mad skills to a soundtrack of "Tulips from Amsterdam". When the crowd have finished going wild with delight, he pulls a massive bong out of his sock, takes a few puffs, then does some mad neck twitching shit as the music changes to "2Unlimited".
Then he gets back in the clog, it's wheeled off up the tunnel to applause, and the game resumes.
Has anyone got tony Scholes e-mail address?

His last Reading home match was stuff made of dreams. I remember the ball apparently going out of play, only for Hooky to rescue it at last minute, wrong footing the opposition at the same time. Unbelievable stuff.

I think to this day, there's still a Bury full back skidding on his arse near the Seddon Stand touchline after trying to take out Hooky, who did him with with one of the greatest bits of close control I've ever seen!

Thanks for that Cooperman. Why won't my youtube downloader allow me to download it?
In the 60 years I've been watching Stoke, he was the most skilfull player I've ever seen play for us. I've seen better players overall but none who could make me gasp with admiration like he did apart from Huddy and maybe Chamberlain.
Hooky will always be one of my Stoke City Heroes despite him being intermittent with his skills. I'd pay the price of a full season ticket to just see his 'Reading Displays' again.
Fabulous......absolutely fabulous!
OS.
