You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

Congratulations Davis Greatest! Indeed Gerard Greene is spelt out by the first and last letters of the answers (cunningly, Nigel Bond's location could have been more specifically Denby Dale which also gives the same result!).
