Happy BirthdayYou play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

He's my favourite ref too. Always looks sharp, knows how to handle the crowd, good memory, and I've seen him have a joke or two with the players as well.
If only he knew the pink was worth six points .
Happy birthday Jan if you're reading this.

But he is indeed a great referee and probably the best ever when it comes to retake the balls after a foul and a miss.
Still everyone's allowed a mistake - Happy Birthday Jan.Winner of Crucible 77's 2009 World Championship Lucky Dip.
