Very nice picture. Would love to read some snooker books from that era. Are there any available? There were great characters in the game then .

Fantastic book it is too. Would recommend it to any snooker fan.

I’ve been researching another great player from the late 50’s / 60’s, Marcus Owen, but unlike Patsy Houlihan he didn’t have family who could be interviewed for more information on his life? I’ve exhausted the billiards and snooker magazines and newspaper archives.

Yes Cyril, a great read this was. I can't find anything on Marcus either, looks like he died quite young too at 50 odd!?! It's sad when these characters have no footage or stories about Thier achievements etc At least Patsy was honoured with this book.
