... if someone is going to leave snooker to go and play pool then they’re not a snooker player anyway.
... but as far as coming from snooker and then going to 9-ball and suddenly being asked to hit the ball as hard as you can AND be accurate… well! In snooker you’re not actually hitting the ball that hard and you’re being careful as though the balls are eggs and you don’t want to break them!
Bill but he pissed a lot of people off too because he was the reason the WPBSA started charging players for booze in the players’ lounge!
we met a lot of wonderful people along the way. I’m not saying some of them were slippery but they could slide under a snake with a top hat on if you know what I’m saying?!
