Great drunks

[BLUEYESTU]

Obviously a man of my own age, this was the first name that came to mind, rumour was he had a "medical condition" which meant he had to down a gallon of lager before starting a match as otherwise his hands shook too much

I remember that - apparently he had a ‘heart condition’ which required beta blockers but they were not allowed in snooker cos they took the match nerves away. So Bill said the only substitute was a shit load of beer! He got away with it for a while too :-)
