1982 cup final replay,wonder show.Great loss to our game...R.I.P Toppo love from jason atack batley bulldogs fan.

Great send off to a truely great player heres to you toppo rest in peace from Ian and Sue Cooper

David was a great servant to the game and my team, Wakefield. Whilst I never saw him in his prime, I remember during his coaching stint at Wakefield he played for the "A" team. Although retired for a few years he still had the class. If it was not for David, Wakefield may never have been revived from the old Second Division and into the SL team they are now. It was that sporty, never say die spirit which made him a great.

I was only a young lad when you played for my beloved Hull FC but I feel privileged to be able to say I still saw you in your prime(which you always were)Great man,great player, greatly missed. R.I.P. TOPPO Dean
