We remember Ray fondly, but it wasn't like he was a regular commentator. A few spots on ITV.
You’re wrong Dan; i’ve been watching a lot of 90s snooker lately & he’s a very prominent commentator & studio guest on the BBC. Seems to have shared the ‘senior’ commentator status with Clive after Ted Lowe retired.
Fair enough - great voice that guy had.
