One of the greats of snooker. And a fine character to boot. |  |

I saw him at the Corn Exchange in the early 80s. I think it was the UK Championship. He was one of the "oldies" then in my mind. Came across as a lovely man. RIP. |  | | |

More likely to have been the Tolly Cobbold Classic organised by John Peachey.
Reardon was a great player, usurped by the new breed of Davis, Higgins etc in the 80s but was always genial and a great sport. Fun to watch.
Edit. Higgins probably not exactly new breed as he'd won the world title in 72 but in terms of TV take off. [Post edited 20 Jul 2024 12:35]

Blimey, that brings back memories. Saw Steve Davis beat Dennis Taylor with a 123 break at the Tolly Cobbold Classic. |  | | |

He used to work in the mines and was once buried underground. Listen to him talk about how he got through it. Gives me a panic attack just thinking about it.

Leaving the green baize table for the last time with a final break of 91.
