What episode is Dr who playing snooker?

@hamblyrock 2 года назад

Interesting fact is the Robidoux made such a fuss about Ronnie playing left handed that Ronnie was called to a meeting to explain his actions at a disciplinary board. He argued that he was just as skilled with his left than he was with his right. They made him play 3 frames of snooker against former world semi finalist Rex Williams and stated he could only play left handed shots. He won all 3 frames….

@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 2 года назад

Fred Davis won 8 world championship titles and was entirely ambidextrous. I doubt Robidoux considered that before jumping to negative conclusions about the practice. I think he was just p*ssed off that it was Ronnie that was doing it. My guess.

What does it matter what hand you play snooker in, as long as you pot the ball your aiming for. A snooker player to play with left and right hand is a bonus because it can help them get the pot they are aiming for.

This romanticism you see of him is ridiculous. He was an arsehole. Violent, abusive, selfish and full of hate. I saw that dramatisation of him and Davis and Barry Hearn on BBC2 and had I not remembered what he was like I may have fell for it. Claimed to be the peoples champion which he never was. Yes he gave away money to causes but how hard is that? He had it, got tax breaks and headlines. Maximum effort? Nope. Yet when it came time to do exhibitions and tours around Belfast for his "people" he was too wrecked. Plus hating on a poor kid for coming up the ranks. steve Davis is played as being unpopular but everyone I knew as a kid in the early 80's fucking loved him.
