Product Description

Snooker may not rule the world as it did in 1985 when 18.5 million people tuned in to BBC television to watch Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis in the World Championship, but the sport still attracts TV audiences of up to 7.5 million. Mineral water has replaced beer at a resting player's elbow, and the days of big Bill Werbeniuk have given way to an era of personal trainers and fitness coaches, but snooker still captures the imagination. Dean Hayes explores the lives of 40 of the sport's greatest names and asks what happened to them after the last black was potted. Mini-biographies and career statistical analysis for players including: Eddie Charlton, Fred Davis, Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Alex Higgins, Ray Reardon, Dennis Tayor, Ronnie O'Sullivan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should be "Author: where did you get your information from?", 29 Dec 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Snooker Legends: And Where Are They Now? (Paperback)

Bought this book as a Christmas present for my finance who has worked professionally in snooker for over 20 years. Thought it would be interesting for him as he knew all the "old timers". Upon opening the present he was quite excited, but as the day progressed and he read more and more of the book, the more inaccuracies I had to hear about.

Have to agree with the other reviews, the author has missed a good opportunity, and it's a shame he didn't get someone like Clive Everton or Phil Yates to proof read.

As previous reviews have said, an interesting book if you don't follow the game closely, otherwise, a frustrating read when you know some of the book is factually incorrect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Errors!, 26 July 2004

By	S. K. Horrocks "stevoatash" (Prestwich, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Snooker Legends: And Where Are They Now? (Paperback)

This is a very readable book updating the snooker fan on the achievements and present day activities of the game's greats. However, it is badly let down by numerous factual inaccuracies, such as stating Steve Davis won the Irish Masters in 1997 when any follower of the game would know it was the Masters at Wembley. Another gaffe is the remark that Davis was going for his second world title in the classic 1985 match against Dennis Taylor - well excuse me but he had already won 3 World titles by that year! I am surprised that these and other errors got through to the publication stage, because they spoil what would otherwise have been an excellent book.

Basically if you want accurate snooker statistics look elsewhere! However if you're looking for an entertaining update on your favourite green baize masters then you'll probably enjoy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Legends of the Green Baize, 13 July 2004

By	Gary Clarke "beeclarke2" (Ipswich, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Snooker Legends: And Where Are They Now? (Paperback)

This is an excellent reference book for the dedicated snooker fan or those who may not follow the game as closely as they once did but remember the glory days of snooker in the mid to late '80s.

However, I can't help but feel that the author has missed a great opportunity with this book. Every snooker fan knows what Stephen Hendry, Steve Davis & Jimmy White are doing now (they all feature in the book). But what of some of the lesser players of days gone by? I'd be much more intrigued to find out what former players such as Graham Miles & David "Silver Fox" Taylor are up to these days. Do they lead comfortable retirements, or are they bitter that they didn't come into the game 15 years later? And what of Tony Meo? All snooker fans will know he no longer plays the game competitively, but what exactly is he doing with his life?

Having said the above, Hayes includes a good mix of past players (Joe Davis, Walter Donaldson et al), true greats of the game (Joe Davis again, Hendry, Steve Davis & Reardon) plus the new stars of the game (Paul Hunter, Mark Williams, Ronnie O'Sullivan). Some of the quirkier players are also featured such as Cliff Wilson & Tony Drago.

The potted biographies are written crisply, clearly & with a nice touch of humour shining through now & again. The text for each player is of a good length & the book if fully illustrated with black & white photos. Overall, a good addition to the snooker players' book collection.
