Doug Mountjoy RIP

RIP Doug.
I really enjoyed watching Dou's rebirth that year especially as he put young Hendry to the sword. And by scoring too. Wasn't it a family member who ripped him off? Hope they are proud...
Sad news indeed.

I've been doing some digging on it can't find much.

RIP Doug. Another from the golden days gone.

Rest in Peace Doug, one of Wales' finest players, am I wrong or did he become a coach after his retirement?

That was a nice tribute. He had a funny trait of pulling up his trousers by the knee when playing certain shots. He had lung cancer in 1993 but had recovered within a year to reach the quarters of a ranking event.
