    arguably the greatest player of the modern game, but not where there's drink available

    wonder if the next ban will be three or four years, he was going to coach in Malaysia this year if any forumites live there and fancy a go, so to speak
    I talked to mike the other night on FB private messaging as I built his website while he was still living in the UK. He is now settled in KL

    he was telling me life is good there and there are something like 30 Snooker Clubs there (majority want to be coached Snooker), he is ok with coaching anything they want he said to me, he even went to Taihland to pick up 2 new cues (He has won 9 World titles with 9 different cues out of all his world titles he was telling me).. dont be suprised if you see him in the final of the next one.. he only practices for an hour now to keep his muscle memory the same but he is such a freak he will get into the next final.. weather he wins or not is up to him.

    Sounds like he needs a lifelong ban, the muppet

    Try contacting the gentlemen at http://englishbilliards.org/ to see if they will still sell you a copy of the DVD. At the time they were also selling on demand discs of the event as well.
