"Mr Maximum" Willie Thorne

[Daz_Blue]

Snooker's Willie Thorn has gone into a coma as he fights cancer in Spain ...... best of luck to him, was around when I was glued to the world snooker championships in the late 70s and through the 80s ... loved the game then , lost interest soon after.

Sad loss but for a moment there when I saw that Gary lineker tweet......

Used to see him around quite a lot, lives quite close to me. Been poorly for a while now. Was put into an induced coma yesterday. Was a nice bloke.
Very sad news.
