Aww only just seen Ray Reardons died. Always played with a smile. Before the game became robotic and 100 breaks ten a penny, he played in the Joe Davis, Spencer, Charlton, Rex Williams era when it was played by gentlemen at a gentle pace. Then Alex Hurricane Higgins rocked up and it was never the same again. Still remember being 9 year old and totally transfixed with the 1982 final Reardon v Higgins. Higgins won which made me ecstatic, but I always had a deep admiration for this old looking guy who always seemed to have a smile on his face. RIP Dracula :(
