Interview with a Grinder

Every now and again a golden opportunity comes along and that is exactly what happened recently to Roland Cox, the man behind snookers newest and most innovative chat forum Snooker Island.

He got the chance to meet and interview the legend that is Cliff Thorburn. It’s a fine insight into the man labelled ‘The Grinder’ and well worth a read.

As for the story of how the interview came about, I’ll let Roland take it up from here. The fact that I am letting him write on the blog has absolutely nothing to do with that photograph he has of me with a picture of Hazel Irvine in one hand and a tube of baby oil in the other. The evidence is purely circumstantial.

Anyway over to Roland….
