It’s literally the opening line to my short film about Ronnie Wiseman chasing Billy Incadona for 25 years, called “Chasing Wincardona”The best players I've ever met all had some form of the 'spectrum' in their makeup.
I'm not speaking of mental illness, per se, like Earl's manic rants, but those people with what today they refer to as a disability, tomorrow will be called gift.
Y'all know of what I speak.
Sketchy, twitchy, personality disorders, anti social tendencies, etc...
Back in the day, substance abuse was used to mask those.
Only way some of those guys could play.
Fire away!!

OCD, as in chalking their tip 10 times before each shot? One player comes to mind. Jonathan Hennessee. Johnny Archer, with his picking at invisible lent on the cloth. That might be OCD too. A lot of very strong players might have some form of OCD.
