Double-inspiring this, Ray making a ton at age 91, an inspiration to all of us who play.
'And the most extraordinary news came from Facebook where Peter Williams shared that yesterday afternoon, Ray Reardon, aged 91, made a 100 break on the “tight table” in his club!' From Monique's blog...

Ray once allowed me to buy him a gin and tonic after I watched him in an exhibition. I had about a five minute chat with him. He was very nice and gave me a couple of tips on how to play the machine gun shop. But I could still never do it.

Yes. That's the one. Ray played it perfectly in the exhibition and afterwards I asked him how he did it. He told me but I still never managed to do it. One of the tips he gave me was to use a very short bridge. I can't remember the others.
