Sad news

Sad, I remember watching him in B&W back in the 70s.

91 is a good age. I just checked and Rex Williams is still with us. Maybe snooker back then had some health giving properties.

That's a shame, he had a good innings though.

Always seemed like a nice bloke, and a good coach by all accounts, remember Ronnie's tribute to him when he won the world title a few years back?

Edit: it was a lot longer ago than I thought it was - https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/othe...n=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target

I remember someone on TV referring to him as Dracula, in a friendly way, due to his hairstyle and facial features, but I can't remember who it was. 🤔

Ted Lowe was the snooker commentator of the ages.

I remember him being referred to as the green baize vampire, which ended up being part of the title of a film - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_the_Kid_and_the_Green_Baize_Vampire
