Yesterday I went along to the Snooker Legends exhibition in my home town.
Some great names; Jimmy White, Dennis Taylor, Kirk Stevens, Cliff Thorburn, Ken Doherty, John Parrott - and the delectable Michela Tabb.
The event was actually great fun and there was some nice snooker played. John Virgo was MC and Comedian.
Anyway...
At half-time in the proceedings there is a raffle, the winner gets to play a frame against his choice of player. Number pulled out - chap wins. He only has is own cue with him too.
Virgo says; 'Whats your name mate?' (the guy was about 40)
The guy; 'Terry - BUt the lads call me Tornado Terry.' (Dead Serious I must add)
Little Chuckle from the crowd.
Virgo; 'So. Who do you wanna play. Tornado?'
Tornado; 'Its been my dream to play Jimmy White. Since I was a boy.' (Lad is emotional at this stage).
Virgo; 'Well Lets go then, Tornado.'
Shakes hands with Jimmy. Jimmy Breaks....
He pots a red from the break - and makes a Maximum 147!
Terry never left his seat.
