Yes Arthur, i just about remember that and my dad going on about how his eyes stopped him from being World Champion. He always seemed a true gentleman as well.

Also we lost 'Whispering' Ted Lowe, the voice of snooker this weekend.

Gone but not forgotten.

Pugwash.

Don't forget that the 'Patriarch of Peace' also went to a watery slumber Osama 'Binned' Laden :biggrin: :biggrin: :wink:
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of......
