The Toronto Star is doing a series about Canadian highlights in our 150 year history.
Cliff Thorburn, the 1980 World Snooker Champion, is in pretty good company on that

Personally, i am so pleased about this....i remember the headlines in Snooker Scene...
..."The Empire Strikes Back!"....Clive Everton had a way with words.
