I was the only spectator in the room when he blew away an indian player. He couldn't miss a ball and I think he won that tournament. Long time ago now. Easy nickname to make up tho to be fair to Alan!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521259394701454668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-23267100020303384882012-05-25T01:19:17.940+01:002012-05-25T01:19:17.940+01:00The bestsnooker mc in history .
