I'd like to stroll into the forum wearing a fedora hat and smiling sweetly as I cock it to the cheering audience 
.
I've been a snooker fan since the 70s when I first saw Pot Black. My early hero was John Spencer and I hated it when Reardon beat him. I listened with awe at the tales of those who went to the Selly Oak British Legion to sit on beer crates in 1972 to watch Alex Higgins beat Spencer. Higgins became my player. I evn deliberately moved on the shot to be more like him. I drew the line at headbutting the tournanment director.
I'm now sinking into middle age and can afford a house big enough to host table. I haven't made a 50 break since I was 18 and so I'll be starting from scratch. My eyes are going too
I hail from near Preston so used to go to the UK championships all the time. Saw Higgins come back to beat Davies, wonderful memories.
These days, I find watching snooker on TV hard as there are so few characters. It is the drama and theatre that can elevate a game of snooker to greatness. There aren't many characters left.
And if I have to watch Peter Ebdon much more, then I wanna be sedated
