I got into snooker in the 1980's when I met Steve Davis at Weston Favell Centre. In those days doubles snooker was on at Derngate (I was a kid and didn't go). I started playing snooker at Overstone Road Snooker Club around that time. Alex wasn't my favourite player but was part of the golden age of snooker (imo)

I know this is an RIP thread but Abington Cobbler you caught my attention when you mentioned Overstone Rd Snooker Club - I spent years playing there, great snooker hall, I was sorry to see it in its last few years before its demise.
