Terry Parsons

[Son of Cliff]

My old man spoke very highly of Terry, both on and off the table. If i remember correctly i think they played in the Welsh Amateur final together in the late 70's or early 80's might be mistaken mind it was a long time ago. :snooker:
Does anyone know where i can see all the Welsh amateur results from the past? it used to be on Global Snooker but i cannot find it now.

Absolutely Jack was an absolute legend, both as a player, a coach, administrator, Welsh Team Manager and a great person.

A few career facts:
1947-1952 Welsh Junior Snooker Champion
1947-1952 Welsh Junior Billiards Champion
Welsh Youth Champion
1951/2 British Youth Snooker Champion
1951/2 British Young Billiards Runner Up
1952 British Youth Snooker Runner Up
West Wales Individual Champion
Swansea League Champion Singles & Doubles
Highest Break 132 West Wales League

High Break 145
A leading Welsh Amateur for more than 50 years. Beat Ray Reardon for the British Youth Championship in 1952 and was runner up to the future World Champion Rex Williams in the Youth Billiards.

Jack was also an absolute bandit on the table. He had every trick in the book, probably learned most of them from Ray Reardon.

I played him once up at Pontardawe Institute in the West Wales League. He did everything to try and talk me off the table.
I had to resort to going and standing about four tables away between shots. I managed to come away with an honourable 1-1 draw!

Great record as a player but he never really liked players from the South East of Wales, and North Wales playing in the Welsh team. So I had have heard :snooker:
