Back in the 70s I read SS religiously every month, and it was great to read about all the super amateur competitions held around Britain at that time. I was a big fan of the fantastic Irish player Patsy Fagan who was forever at the business end of these competitions and did very well as an amateur.<br /><br />So, to Snooker Scene and all the players of this great era... Much Thanks!Levi100https://www.blogger.com/profile/12737962095782995867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-7086015808897404562012-09-08T16:19:10.731+01:002012-09-08T16:19:10.731+01:00I remember being a regular subscriber to Snooker S...I remember being a regular subscriber to Snooker Scene back in the 70s/80s, living in Ireland and always hungry for the latest news on the superb amateur competitions held all over Britain back then. I was a big fan of the brilliant Dubliner Patsy Fagan, a player I had the pleasure of watching in the early 70s handing out a 5-1 mauling to Doug Mountjoy followed by a 3-2 victory over Welsh International Des May on the Welsh boys home table in aberystwyth Nth Wales. <br /><br />You mention Neil Foulds but I've often wondered about his Dad Geoff, Ron Gross, Vic Harris, Sid Hood, and hundreds more I've read about and seen play when we had the home internationals.<br /><br />So much thanks to the players of that great era cos when my Snooker Scene came through the letterbox I'm sure i saw your name in there.Levi100https://www.blogger.com/profile/12737962095782995867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-6404858434895499152012-09-04T08:10:06.251+01:002012-09-04T08:10:06.251+01:00Dave I enjoy reading all your articles keep up the...Dave I enjoy reading all your articles keep up the good workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-78503513330203711932012-09-03T14:38:02.964+01:002012-09-03T14:38:02.964+01:00dont remember anyone saying dave cant comment on b...dont remember anyone saying dave cant comment on both.<br /><br />stating preferences is what was mentioned<br /><br />just like your preference is to hear about bothAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-17531458347687452902012-09-03T10:51:16.447+01:002012-09-03T10:51:16.447+01:00As a snooker fan I want to hear about Ronnie and t...As a snooker fan I want to hear about Ronnie and the likes of Nick Walker - guys why can't we have both???<br /><br />Keep up the good work Dave.LuigiVampanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-86940631508968058022012-09-01T18:11:17.833+01:002012-09-01T18:11:17.833+01:00Clare will be tooo busy on channel 4...

Whilst Snooker Scene's main focus must always be on the here and now, it is always good to hear of the older players and be nice to hear from some of them. World Snooker lists several great names of the past still on the rankings (albeit in alphabetical order at the end). But how are players such as Graham Miles, or dear old Jackie Rea (placed at 140 at the age of 91) doing? Be great to see a feature or two.Brynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-79712192046214887632012-08-28T16:45:37.747+01:002012-08-28T16:45:37.747+01:00Which Francisco became a cocaine smuggler?
