His dad passed away, RIP Andy Kopczak. This makes me think the Koppy won't be playing this weekend against Harlequins but also I rekon there will be a minute silence to remember him.

Condolences to Craig and his family.

Indeed, condolences and best wishes to Craig and the family. It's always sad to lose a parent but in the circumstances it must have been hard for life to carry on as normal around such a family tragedy.

Sad news indeed. Thoughts with Craig and the Kopczak family.

Don't think there will be a minutes silence unless his father played for the club or had some other working capacity.

We probably will have a minutes silence at my game/first team game at Dudley Hill as Andy played for them for a good few years. Not sure exactly how many.

Condolences to Craig and all his family at this sad time

If andy wall asks me tomorrow we will have minutes silence..i normally do when its an ex player.

rip andy

who are you ritz?? and we probably will.

Very sad news indeed. Andy was a gent and was an absolute beast on the rugby field. I played alongside him a few times and was glad I wasn't in the opposition line trying to put a hit on him!

Thoughts and condolences to the family. RIP.

Met craig whilst on work experience at your place the other year. he was a great bloke, for such a big lad soft as. Sad sad News, RIP and my thoughts go to koppy and his family, as do the rest of the wire fans no doubt.

s cummins.

Sad News. Thoughts go out to Craig & his family.

RIP Koppys Dad!! Thoughts go out to all family and friends.

Very sad news.
Thoughts with the family.

Had the pleasure of playing alongside Andy in the Dudley Hill team. He certainly looked after me as a young man just breaking through.
Happy memories.

Very sad news. I know his dad isn't an ex-player, but I still think it would be a nice gesture to have a minutes silence on Sunday as a mark of respect.

we had a minutes applause fro him thats what craig wanted, i played with him a couple of times and he was a great bloke gentle as they come off the field tough as an ox on it will be sadly missed

Did we have one last year when Dave Halley's dad passed away? I can't remember if we did or not, but that could give a good indication as to whether there'll be one Sunday or not.

In all respect i think we should have one, to show our respect to craig and his family.

Terrible news

Condolences to the family

Was it sudden or had he been poorly?

His dad had cancer and was diagnosed 6 months ago. You can probably gather that with his age - 43 he has been very ill for some time and Craig has had to juggle
Visits to hospice/ hospital around his rugby. So sad rip andy Kopczak
