Murphy being a fool again

how come its ok for you to show all sort of hatred towards Hendry and yet if some shows hatred towards one of your favorites you almost in tears.

some you hate some you love thats life.

good post Wild

hate isnt exactly the right term.

personally im not a great fan of Ebdon but i respect his style so much and he has been involved in some memorable matches.

no matter how much out of form he is i love the anticipation will he grind a win out of nowhere.

i dont hate Hendry or Higgins but i dont like them (as im sure you already know )

What i do hate is that being Scottish, everyone else feels it is there obligation to support them. Im not a patriot so i dont buy into that nonsense.

What ...?

Charlton is the only player of real note to come from the land Down Under.

Who else is there..... Dene O'Kane was a Kiwi so technically that counts him out.

Charlton (RIP)

i didnt even know charlton was dead??

Quite a few years ago now. He was in his 60's in the 1980's when he was a top 16 player!

Charlton sadly passed on in 2004...if I remember right there was a minute's silence at the British Open.

He had more in him Mr StalinESQ And it certainly wasnt an over abundunt supply of flegm floating around his larynx.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_Williams

no Rex is still alive and 76

looking at when he turned pro in 1951 thats unbelievable at that time a 16 year old turned pro at snooker. he was the first snooker teenager most probably.

was it the masters in 86 he got to the final and played jimmy? led for a while?

Rex looked about 80 in 1986, God knows what he looks like now, poor bugger.

God its unbelievable to think Rex in 1986 was the same age as Steve Davis is now but looked so much older

doug won the UK in november 1988 beating Hendry in the final and his form continued in the very next tournament in 1989 the Mercantile Credit Classic and beat Wayne Jones in the final

I think it was his slick back hair and his grey suits - he always looked old. Some people do.
