Now that Barry Hearn been officially recognized in the United States for his immeasurable contributions to the sport of pool, it would seem prudent that he be recognized in his own country by Her Majesty to become a Knight.
According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, this is the definition of a knight: a man who is given a special honor and the title of Sir by the king or queen of England.
Interestingly, women who are appointed to this honor are done so by the "Order of the Garter." Garter? Man, what's up with THAT? :embarrassed2:
AzBilliard's counterpart in England is Pro9.co.uk website. They have their own forum and everything, but it doesn't get quite as wild as we do over here on this side of the pond. :grin:
Here is a great article from Pro9.co.uk about Barry Hearn: Sir Barry Hearn

[I didn't know J.P. stood for "Jean-Pierre." How charming and exquisitely French! Ooh-la-la! ]
Okay. AzBilliards Gold Star of the Day goes out to who can name the four faces behind Barry Hearn in the photo.
