To get praise is gratifying, to get praise from an ATG non-fiction writer is very humbling. Years ago my dad bought me ‘Dark Trade’ from Sportspages on Charing X Road and told me “I think you’ll like this book.” Reading it was a truly formative experience.

@Nick_Metcalfe Also these days you can get away with doing things like “star wars episodes 4-6”. Back in the day it would be stuff like “the life and works of Charles dickens”

Sad snooker story. Pat Houlihan used to play for Belvedere WM Club with Bill Smith. The two friends drew each other in the 1969 English Am Championship. Bill collapsed during the match and later died in hospital. The death hit Pat hard. Here’s a rare photo of them together. https://t.co/UF5ZMvX56c

@philhaigh_ @Indyclone77 @jimmywhite147 @davehendon @TalkingSnooker @Nick_Metcalfe @donaldgmcrae @WeAreWST @PaulZanon1972 @BoxerJoeGrim @KOwriting Yeah it was pretty harsh. Simon Hughes if I remember rightly. Funnily enough I don’t remember seeing him at the event and was therefore surprised when I saw the article the next day. But the reference to £170 and a tear in the eye was about me so he must have been there.
