Hairy Canary 701 Posted June 17, 2020 Being reported that he has sadly died at 66. Probably not a big name to many but as a bit of a snooker fan I go to Shefield each year for a couple of days at the World Championships. Willie always had a bit of a laugh with the crowd and such a dry sense of humour. Won't be the same without him there. RIP Willie. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
South Sider 114 Posted June 17, 2020 The rate of inflation has also hit the lowest level since 2016. Just as relevant on a football forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any danger of this bit being kept to just football? I don't come here for the other stuff I ACTUALLY go elsewhere for that. Shocking, right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you didn’t then that’s fair enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see that as a response often, but it makes no sense and is an unproductive response to the issue. I don't go on forums discussing politics only to have to dodge posts regarding Farke's substitution timings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
South Sider 114 Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) And just like that, it's moved to non-football where it should be. But was it really too difficult to post it there in the first place OP? Edited June 17, 2020 by South Sider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 3,980 Posted June 17, 2020 Well it’s in its rightful place now so you can relax and enjoy your day. A very decent player who made bucket loads of maximum breaks in practice and should have won more titles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,517 Posted June 17, 2020 Thank you Hairy. I couldn't care where it's posted, it's the thought and share that count. Willie Thorne was very popular with his fellow professionals and a true gentleman I'm reading in the obituaries. RIP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHRIMPER 328 Posted June 17, 2020 I met Willy T at Stody Hall gardens many moons ago. He was 6 ft 2 ins but looked like a giant. His bald head was as big a barrel and gleamed in the sunshine. Being a bit of a snooker fan I asked for a photo to be taken with him which he consented to with good grace. No mobile phones then so it was with my camera. I think it took about 4 goes before Mrs Shrimper got us both in the frame and he took it all in good part. The gardens are open each year for charity and he was doing his bit for it. RIP Willy T. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
