not sure if anyones asked before but why did pot black finish ? what 2-3 years ago ?Comment

pot black was good in it day but it lost it edge and having it played on 1 saturday in the year i found pointless.Originally Posted by leelee View Post
having it spread over weeks like it used to be would be better but i think Pot Black should stay in the 80s by bringing it back but with 80s players playing in it.Comment

Yeah Peter, i know Roger quite well and have had many business dealings with him in the past. He's a pleasure to do business with and has a very impressive archive of Snooker footage..Originally Posted by peterwatters View Post"Statistics won't tell you much about me. I play for love, not records."

Wasn't Eddie Charlton the only player to get a 100 break on Pot Black (before the series with Davis, Hendry etc)?You are only the best on the day you win.Comment

Yes, a break of 110 in 1973 against John Spencer..Originally Posted by DawRef View Post"Statistics won't tell you much about me. I play for love, not records."
