Do you remember Cliff Thorburn's 147? First one at the World Cham[pionships iirc, that started with a fluke and then went on for about three days.

Yes, and our snooker-mad Dad wouldn't let us talk or move during the careful closing of the break...it seemed as big as the lunar landing at the time.
When Cliff was playing Terry Griffiths you knew you could pop out to the chippy and not miss much..

Eddie Charlton was a helluva character...coal miner was his original career.

Wait 7 years for a max. on tour, and ROS gets 2 in the same semi-final match, in Saudi !
He is using a new cue though..
The speed he tidies up is remarkable.
