Sad in so many ways. Health aside, that he went from being a millionaire to not being able to scrape together 20 grand for something that would ease his suffering.  :(

Not convinced - mate of mine only has a few teeth but copes
more likely the cancer treatment has decimated his body
either way not good  :'(

if you believe the health nazi's its indirectly related due to "radiotherapy while battling throat cancer" as the article does not explicitly link his smoking with throat cancer.

however, as a smoker you DO know that every time you smoke baby jesus cries  :o :o :o

When was that the 60's?!  ;D ;D Spain has ramped up the tax on tobacco and introduced rules to make it hard for people to buy too many at once.

Cant believe I only brought 60 back, and I don't even smoke!!

That's tragic.  I was an avid watcher of his game on telly.

I'm pleased that some of his old opponents have been chipping-in to help.

He was due to appear in Derby last night, playing snooker at the assembly rooms.
Saw him at the crucible in  Sheffield on tv, unrecognisable.
My favorite player from the 70's, world champion 1972 and again 1982.
