We lost one of the best players of my time in the late 60's and early 70's. Passed away last Thursday 6/4 from complications from lung cancer, he was 82 and a great guy. I called about 6 weeks ago and he said he'd lost a 100lbs in the last year! From 270 to 170lbs. Told me he hurt everyday and...

We Well said from the former world champion.

Cole was my toughest challenge as a young player! Played him with the call eight for ten a game. I was 16 and he was 18. I had about 600$ in my pocket and he got me 200 loser. I racked balls for a better part of two hours and knew I was in trouble but I was gonna keep playing until I got a...

ME!

Hope all you Kool people here on AZ have a good thanksgiving from The Mighty Squirrel!

I was born May 22, 1952! It was late summer 1970 when I made that shot at Vern Peterson’s billiard palace in Bellflower! Blew Coles mind lol. Then he lined up trick shots trying to match what I did lol. Cole was 19-20 months older than me! I played Cole at 16 years old in Houston with the call...

Cole was a great nine ball player because he was a straight shooter and had great control of his cue ball ! If any of you people want to up your game of 9 ball or one pocket game practice 14-1 everyday! If you can pocket balls pretty decent the 14-1 will improve your 9 ball and one pocket game...

Tommy Fleetwood finally broke ice and won a tourney! Won the Fed Ex tour championship after playing in his 164th pga tourney! And he picked the right one to win, 10 mil first prize! Congrats to Tommy, you’ve done well!

Tall Jeff Sparks is 6 ft 7 inches and was at his peak in the early 70’s. He beat Buddy Hall twice playing even nine ball in Houston in late 70 or early 71! He also beat one eyed Tony twice playing even nine ball. Beat Greg Steven’s with the last two in nine ball and he could give Greg the last...

The Stardust tourney was played in April of 1972! This was my last appearance in the pool world pretty much. I claimed Keith Mcready played Ronnie Allen with the eight losing two sets at 500$ per set. He played pretty good but was in over his head! He needed the seven and I would have still...

I watched Ronnie Allen give Keith Mcready the eight in 1972 at the Stardust tourney when Keith was 17 or just before he turned 17. Ronnie beat him two sets at 500$ a set. Keith needed the 7! He was in a little over his head at the time. He was a pretty good player for his age but wasn’t elite by...

I spoke with Alfie’s youngest brother Doug Taylor and he confirmed he was in an assisted living place in Tucson Arizona. Doug gave me the number but chances are you won’t get Alfie! Told me he was hard to understand over the phone so I haven’t called!

I disagree 100%, if you read those post (lies) he said about me he trashed me big time along with Rodney Steven’s ! I have no respect for him whatsoever! If you do a search on the internet “how good was Keith Thompson “ those post will come up he made and Rodney Steven’s threw gas on the fire...
