'pocket money' author dies
Gordon Burn, author of Pocket Money, one of the best books ever written about snooker, has died of cancer at the age of 61.
Burn followed the 1985/86 season, a magical boom time for snooker which was vividly brought to life by his excellent writing.
He also wrote books on Peter Sutcliffe, Fred and Rose West and 24-hour rolling news.
If any snooker fan is yet to read Pocket Money, I recommend it as one of the few essential snooker books.
