Snooker player Willie Thorne (66) has died in Spain from leukaemia.
I was fortunate to play a frame against him at Reading police station when the Hexagon was abandoned after a bomb scare. All the top players of the day retired to the police station, where we had 2 snooker tables in the bar. John Virgo also did his imitation of famous players act. That was great because thay were all there to watch.
Willie was a true gentleman and a wonderful ambassador for snooker.
RIP
