Really clutching at straws here:

Horace Lindrum?

Nope. Note that player h is one of the more younger players pictured. Remember this pic is from the early 50's so, he would have been in his late 20's, perhaps 30.

I've just done a Google search for original Pot Black line-up and, not knowing where to start, typed in: "Pot Black" Kennerley Reardon Charlton and was amused that it came up with only 1 result, which was a previous question in this very thread!

I posted that once as a BDE quetion on the BBC forum. Pity that site didn't have a search facility.

You had Willie for g. lol

[The Statman]

Sorry, I meant Willie Smith for no.2, not Sidney!

Mond you, it could have been one of those cameras that went slowly round the circle, giving him time to dart off, remmove a wig and return a couple of positions further down looking different!

Interesting about Sydney Lee's spelling. I am sure you are right, Cyril, as his name is always cited as in the Australian city – but I have a book with a photo of a scoreboard on which his name is spelt 'Sidney'.

btw Statman, what book is it? Was his opponent John Pulman (or Donaldson) ???

[Cyril]

a) Alec Brown - correct

c) John Pulman - correct
d) Sidney Smith - correct

f) Joe Davis - correct
g) Willie Smith - correct
h) Stan newman - incorrect
i) Walter Donaldson - correct
j) Kingsley Kennerley - correct
k) Fred Davis - correct
l) Sidney Lee - correct

(10/12)

I have a book written by Sydney Lee, which I would trust gives the correct spelling. A quaint little paperback instructional book, mainly on billiards. No date given but I would guess either just before or just after WWII.
