Never heard that story about him - absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing, Gazz.

And RIP, Ray. Proper Welsh gentleman, who did so much to popularise his sport - and when many of us were still watching it in black and white, too!

Another sad sporting loss.

A gentle man with a super sense of humour.

He brought snooker to the masses in the era of "for those watching in black and white, the pink ball is that one one nestled behind the yellow" (or something like that).

Coaching is about providing football for children, not children for football.
