He certainly seemed to enjoy that last frame.
Boring Brendas number one and (almost) only fan.

Smithys number one and (definitely not) only hater.

Either there's no snooker on tv, or Randall has died.

Check out this channel. Got the whole 1985 UK Championship final. All 9 hours of it.

In before Randall says "I remember it well" :)

The 1985 Mercantile Classic was Willie's only Ranking Tournament win.

They mention it all the time on the Snooker Scene podcast. Another option for Bob to pass the time until the live snooker returns.

Hopefully Hearn does the same with the darts and Lord Ronald gets invited, it's been too long.

One of the greatest pieces of sporting commentary by Ted Lowe in the Taylor v David world final.
When Davis missed the black, Ted Lowe did the greatest “NO” ever uttered.
