I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.

TBH, without meaning to sound crass, I'm a little bit surprised he made it to 61 with the lifestyle he's led in his time. Always seemed one of those who would burn out too early.

One of the most naturally gifted players to have held a cue.

I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Also one of, if not the most entertaining to have graced the game.

He was a character,no doubt about that.
Anybody else remember his televised game with Jimmy White? They averaged 12 minutes a frame.
