Remembered as a positive influence, a great mate and a good footy player, the life of former Dolphins hooker Liam Hampson was celebrated at a special service at Redcliffe on Monday.
Family members, former team-mates and school colleagues shared stories about how Hampson had helped them become better people with his relentlessly positive outlook of life and friendly demeanour which had him “saying hello to everyone in the room”.
Hampson came off the bench for the Dolphins in this year’s Hostplus Cup grand final to help spark a second-half fightback against the Norths Devils, who ultimately prevailed in the contest. “He won the player of the match in the prelim final when I met him after the game and he was pretty talented.”Redcliffe Dolphins Hostplus Cup captain Cameron Cullen read a poem he wrote about Hampson at the service and also spoke about the loss of a mate.
