Sad news

The Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry. Ronnie O'Sullivan of the 1970s.

One of the pioneers that brought Snooker from the pubs to the TV screens.

RIP

91..after all those snooker halls in the 60s 70s and 80s.

That's legendary. It's put a spring in my step.

Isnt there a youtube clip of him impersonating alex Higgins, or was that someone else?
