  • Hi From Ian

    Hi All, My names Ian, just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I grew up with Snooker in the late 70's and 80's. I would watch it with my Grandma they were happy days. My parents got me a pot black Steve Davis table I was hooked I had a natural flair for the game I loved it. I was tough to play as I have a disability CP, so I could only play in short bursts but was determined to play. I remember my first Cue a Peradon Match. I visited the Preston Guild Hall regularly and saw the UK Champs and in those days the World Qualifiers I was able to meet the players. The first match I ever saw was Cliff Wilson v Ray Reardon great players and what a potter Cliff was

    I haven't been able to play at all for a very long time thru my disability and 2 failed foot surgeries but I'm not giving up I want to play. I have a lovely Trevor White Cue it is a thing of beauty love it. I'm aiming to play in the disabled Snooker Championships, I have already checked this out. I aim to raise the profile of it, I do know that the Paul Hunter Foundation was involved . Well folks that's some background on me and I look forward to contributing to the forum and sharing some stories with you. Cheers Ian.

                          Hi Everyone hope everyone is ok sorry I've been away for a few months I've missed the forum and am enjoying catching up. I've had to see another specialist about my foot it's in a special unit the limb reconstruction dept. I will need further surgery I'm eager to walk again and to play some snooker again. I miss it very much. I'm in the hands of the surgeon also with my cerebral palsy. It's tough guys but I'm not giving up. I'm enjoying the action at the crucible. I'm also going to get some pics of the cue uploaded for you all it's a Trevor White it's a thing of beauty . Love it Trevor was brilliant. I'm going to do my very best to keep in touch I love the forum I love the game. Take Care All Cheers. Ian
