John Prescott- 86. A real Labour man.

From 2 jags to 2 jabs.

Rip.

Remember when he stuck one on some heckler who had the temerity to lob an egg at him in a protest meeting. He was a keen amateur boxer in his youth. The egg marketing board used the image in their publicity campaign - Go to work on an egg. Then there was that affair with his secretary. - as parodied in a TV film - What japes - the world of politics has never quite recovered.

I watched Griffiths win the world title in 1979. The final finished at some ungodly hour, about 2 a.m., iirc. The Llanelli postman was a fine player.
RIP Terry Griffiths.

Players from the Snooker golden era will be going on a regular basis.

Used to love watching them all in their heyday.

RIP Terry.
