{{a| | {{a|hf|}}One who hooks; a player who, on a rugby paddock, stands between the loose-head and tight-head props and, following put-in, rakes the ball back to his half-back during a scrum. Usually belligerent and with the size, shape and density of a wild boar. | ||
When his playing days are over, a hooker may often be persuaded, for suitable payment, to fraternise with members of the financial services community, such as [[hedge fund]] managers. This goes some way to explaining what people on the left find so contemptuous about the financial services industry. | When his playing days are over, a hooker may often be persuaded, for suitable payment, to fraternise with members of the financial services community, such as [[hedge fund]] managers.
