There were quite a few 'taches around in those days.

I'll say.

He stitched me right up with a dodgy Rolex. It wasn't fake ot stolen ot anything like that, but it wasn't original. The plain bezel had been replaced with a diamond one but rather than add value it made it worth less. I did manage to get out of it eventually but I had to take some other hard to shift goods in part ex.

No, it's 'Dustbin' Danny Fowler.

Robert Manns, a good friend of mine was managing Bill Werbeniuk, Danny Fowler and Alain Robidoux at the time.
He was all set to travel to Bangkok with the players when something went tits up with one of his other business ventures. Apparently it was an emergency that required his personal attention so he was unable to go to Thailand.

The flights and hotel were booked and paid for, so I did the right thing and offered my services. He deputised me and I went in place of him.

It was my job to make sure the players got enough sleep, didn't drink alcohol and stayed away from girls.

That went well.....

@ NI snooker.

Is White rocking an iffy syrup?

More of an iffy thatch unless that's fallen out - he's been wearing one for decades now.

It looks like he still has his hat on underneath.



I have noticed that the latest version seems a little crowned.

I love Jimmy and have known him since he was 16/17 years old.

My first memory of him was seeing him and his then girlfriend playing gin-rummy in the room above Pepe's Mazurka club in Soho whilst waiting for Ted Isles's nightly poker game to begin. When the late lamented Victoria snooker-hall was closed down c1981 many of the regulars of whom I was one moved to Wandsworth just across the river to feed our addiction for the game. It was the lair of many and various characters from tic-tac men at the local greyhound tracks to dealers in the West End spielers one of whom was a well-dressed lad who played a decent game of snooker and also happened to work as dealer at The Mazurka - Steve Jermyn - who when he realized I was a gambler and interested in poker offered to take me to the club, introduce me to the gang and have a game if I fancied.

So started another major change of direction in my somewhat chequered career.

Such a tease Ralphie.

Can anyone guess the 2nd cousin three times removed connection between my favourite table #2 at Victoria Snooker Club in London and Stu(StuartHopkin)Hopkin?

Small world, in the early 80s I used to go a snooker club in Wandsworth every Saturday morning. We were all rubbish but I remember seeing Jimmy White playing there in the morning before a game he had that afternoon at Wembley, the B & H was it ?

I also have something in common with Jimmy White - a nice headline in the watford observer 'Whirlwind' Henderson after a sensational knock

Well Wichita State lost a thriller in the Maui tournament final, going down by a point to 13th ranked Notre Dame who hit two free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining to secure a big comeback win. Whilst the loss is disappointing, Wichita is still missing its best player in Marcus McDuffie and it's better to get losses out of the way now rather than in March. Positive signs.

That's the one Glen you get in via a side door/entryphone down an alley - Jimmy was in there all the time.

The manager was big burly Scot known as Jock and whenever Jimmy was clearing the table with a 100+ break he'd shout out in his broad Scottish burr "Jimmy White the best player in the worrrrld". I practiced (or should I say respotted the colours) with Jimmy a few times in there. I also met Tony Bolton and other luminaries for the first time at Wandsworth snooker club.
