Whatever Happened to These Guys?

In his heyday, i saw Sparky knock off a few near top guys with that wild look in his eyes. I knew his GF at the time and mentioned maybe he should 'cool it' a little with the "enhancements". She said he didnt enhance, that was him on the natch. LOL-she was misinformed.
I HEARD he got straightened out and became a Barber. I hope so. This is 5-7 year old info.

Shuff beat him in an 8 ahead or so in a very short time a few years ago.
Hopefully he put the balance of that dose to good use. Teee...heee.
I was pulling for him but almost no one escapes on their first attempt. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay rougher than the 3-4 days of 'flu like symptoms' they use to talk about. Not even close.
Well in this old thread it seems that Sparky was trying to make things right. Good on him if he did and learning a trade.

You mean Sam Monday and Pete Horne.
Like Jay said, are you sure you are not speaking of Sam Monday? He is from NC.
I Knew Pete too, back many moons ago.
Given the age/ era differences between Pete and sam... i gotta think mike/ sam Monday are different people.
Last I heard, sammy was a guest of the state.
True. Thou Sam I believe is a couple years older than me, and I remember Pete very well. I was around 14-15 when Pete was making his way through our towns. He seemed to always have picked up a cue or two along his way, and would try selling them off.
I did not know the 2nd part. But nothing comes as a shock :smile:.

I knew a player from Detroit that liked to use the name Mike Monday. His real name was Freddie Hess. Not sure what ever happen to him.
I’m glad to hear that Don Feeney is all right.
He did something at Chris’ in Chicago that deserves mention once in a while.
He ran over a hundred on a 6x12 snooker table
He ran 150 at straight pool on a 9- foot pool table
He ran over ten (I think it was 14) on a ten foot carom table
All on the same day
:bow-down:
Tap Tap! He might be the only person to ever do that on the same day. Harold Worst is the only other person I can think of who may have been capable of that, but I doubt he ever attempted it.
Johnny furber is still in Gainesville hustling the local auctions and wheeling dealing in the junk buisness and on ocassion still hits the local pool halls around Gainesville and Ocala Florida for some cheap one pocket action
Thanks....glad to hear it, I like that dude.
