Willie Thorne, snooker player has died

This has just been announced on the news, very sad and at an early ago too.

I've spent many hours enjoying watching this snooker legend play, so thanks Willie Thorne, RIP.

A character who will be missed, along with Alex Higgins and Fred Davis.

He supplied me with hours of entertainment marveling at his superb snooker, along with Ray Reardon, Hurricane Higgins, Steve Davis and Cliff Thorburn, among many others.....RIP Willie.... Far too young to leave us just yet....
