Patsy Houlihan?

[DeanH]

how did you confirm it was actually him though ?

so cynical so soon!

from what I have picked up, there are some other top end pros on here - reading only mainly
there are some of the new-pro, some open about their identity (kudos), some more anonymous (fair enough)
Eurosport commentators/SnookerScene/etc seem to be on here somewhere
now if only the BBC commentators read this forum they may have more up to date information to use in their commentaries

sorry, but if i joined up and said i was Joe Johnson, would you believe me by me just saying it? im not being cynical I just want to know what he stated to confirm he was himself? Its just out of curiosity and interest thats all.

[DeanH]

how you doing Joe?

I know these are old posts and doubt this will be seen but it's cool to see people speaking about his career. Hes my great grandad and ive been looking into his past recently to find out more about him

Hi there
Being family - maybe you know then that there is a book coming out about Pat, the author is a member here and I did a proof read of it only a week or so ago, and it is going to the printers very very soon

Really looking forward to reading the book. I have spoken to the author on numerous occasions about it’s contents.

Very befitting legacy that such a brilliant (if relatively unknown to the general public) player should have a book dedicated to his life and career.

I will definitely be buying the book. I love reading about olden days snooker.

I live in hope that somewhere someone has a bit of footage on VHS of Patsy playing and they realise how precious the film is and share it. It would be just fantastic to see how he held a cue, his action and style etc it would be pure gold. 🤞🤞
