I was looking through some old snooker scene mags that i have had from the late 80s and was just wondering if anyone knows what Dean Reynolds was doing nowadays ?

Dean Reynards is a snooker player from Grimsby. Round about the time of Mike Hallet.
There were a lot of good players from Grimsby back then.

I spoke to him just before christmas and he looked fit and healthy. He's given up the booze and lost 3 stone as a consequence. He was in his hometown playing pool for the South Yorks County Team as he now lives in Sheffield.
