Pictures of World Caliber Players When They Were Young
- Thread starter ibuycues
- Start date
That's Gary Spaeth and Chris MacDonald flanking Jimmy Reid. I'm not sure who that other guy is, most have been a backer (Sherm). :thumbup: Julie Jay was Chris' very popular girl friend, the "Road Woman."

Don't shoot the piano player....he's doing the best he can.
This thread has been a ton of fun, with a lot of pictures rarely, if ever seen. And certainly not as part of a single thread.
For those unaware, AZer Bill Porter has a boatload of pictures also, from earlier times.
Are there more pictures to be added? A lot of AZers would like to see them if you have any.
Thanks to all who have posted in this thread so far. Much appreciated.

Ron Kollman , Cincy Ohio not sure of his stats,
*bank pool champ ***** i heard******
ron owned a pool room, hilltop billiards, now closed
he had a bunch of old pics framed hanging in the hall
one particulary interesting picture was donnie anderson,
i think ron said it was from the early '60's
i'll check with ron and see if he's still got them

Some great pictures! I know many of the players in the pictures, but there are several that escape me.
If you can supply names it is appreciated.
Thanks again!

I just came across the earliest (youngest) picture of Luther Lassiter I have seen in quite some time.
He is second from left.....with dark hair!
also, ........Jimmy Moore, Willie Mosconi, Richard Riggie, Erwin Rudolph, Irving Crane, etc.
Does anyone have a picture to add of a world class picture in his/her younger days?
