Who's this budding youg player?

[Cyril]

He went on to be one of the all time great, thanks "sportsman's glasses". Without them he'd never have won a thing.

Doesn't look like Dennis Taylor, but the glasses quote tells me it is.

You seem to be convinced very quickly, Steve.
Look above for Nugget's reply.

[Welshsteve]

Yeah I thought it looked like one of the Davis's but it was just the glasses thing.

[JParrott1]

Personally I think it's Joe Davis, the picture looks about his time.

[Cyril]

Joe was standing next to him but I cut him off, so as not to give it away!

[snookersaint]

Maybe Walter lindrum in his early days

[Cyril]

STOP GUESSING. lol

The answer IS the late, great Fred Davis O.B.E., before he began using his famous "sportsman's glasses", with the swivel lenses. I suspect this picture would have been taken in the early 1930's.

Maybe a mod could mark this thread as [RESOLVED] or [CLOSED]
