Played him, beat him in the seventies.
Not Eugene Browning, know them both well.
Was it on a bar table? You must have played pretty good because I played him on a bar table and big table and I didn't win and I didn't play half bad back then myself. I forgot, when we played on the big table I agreed to play with the big bar ball that turned out to be my mistake.

I just realized you said a year ago so he may look different now. This picture is like 25 years old. He is the guy top middle with no sleeves.
Has there ever been a pool player named Gene that plays well that wasn't called the Machine??
Standing next to a very young Johnny Archer, with Louie Lemke on the other side of him. I can name about half of these guys.
On the big table but my bar table was even a better game.
In the picture that's him in the back row with the white tee shirt and blue logo.
I was told he had become religious and was living in N Alabama but I am not sure.
A lot of good or very good players in that picture.
Brings back a lot of memories..
This is the group of guys and some other strong players that was all over the south playing when I was just starting..
It was awesome watching the tournaments but even better watching the woofing and action!
Some local flavor in that picture too not just the southern big dogs.

Great pic
I'm only sure of six of them. Nice to see a pic of Al O'Rear ("Alley Oop").
Can you post the names of those that you know?
