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...
Appreciate the coolness lol but my buddy Cole Dickson was the coolest guy I’ve ever known, I worshipped him. Couldn’t wipe the kool off Cole he just naturally had it! I felt so loose hanging with him!
Yes, Marshall Carpenter! Myself and Bobby Taylor my road buddy stopped by the pool room Squirrel played at and I was gonna shoot 500$ at him at 50$ a game about 3 weeks after I won the all around at Johnston City. He wasn’t there that day so we just kept on going!
I was 15 years old playing this guy snooker at the “SACKEM” a bar pool hall on Red Bluff Road in Pasadena Texas.
I was giving him 30 points for five bucks a game. Beat him 4-5 games in a row and he quit! Offered him 45 points for ten a game and he’s said yes! Well I broke the rack and ran all...
There’s 3 cue replicas on the cue lined up with the 3 nine balls. I won the nine ball division at Johnston City so I wanted 9 balls on the Butt! Plus it added a little color to the cue. Richard Black had some beautiful cues laying out on his high dollar pool table in his shop on Lake Houston...
Lassiter was the man! Playing Lassiter on even terms was such a privilege in 1970. He won the all around the next spring at the Stardust in Vegas! 1971. Myself and Cole Dickson introduced ourselves to Lassiter the first day of the 9 ball tourney and shot the sh— with him for maybe 20 minutes...
Had Richard black make me a cue of my own design in 2013 while I was building my home in Madisonville! The enlay above the wrapping is a replica of the cue!
I put three nine balls on the ebony butt and 1970 world champion also. Kind of knocks my action doesn’t it lol. I love the cue but Mr...
It is and he had a tough rd in the 9 ball division! I knocked him to the losers bracket with a 11-9 victory. Myself and Irving Crane were the only two unbeatens left. I won our match 11-7! Joey had to play Lassiter then Irving in a race to eleven and he beat them both! We then played for the...
