   Ah that is sad news. As an 80s kid snooker was huge and seemingly always on TV. Willie was one of the good guys.

      Agreed, I would watch the snooker when young in the 80’s.
      He was always a character

   Snooker Loopy bald-shaming may have been ok in the 80s but not anymore

         Lighten up dav.. It’s just a bit of humour in line with Broadsheet’s post linking to the Snooker Loopy video as a tribute to Willie Thorne

            “Now old Willy Thorne his hair’s all gone
            And his mates all take the rise
            His opponent said cover up his head
            Cos it’s shining in my eyes
            When the light shines down on his bare crown
            It’s a cert he’s gonna walk it
            It’s just not fair giving off that glare

   I loved his excitement as the cue ball approach a pocket was infectious,
   “where’s the cue ball going!!!!”
