NEW BOOK

“Managing the Bad Boys of Snooker” recalls my time as manager to Jimmy White and Alex Higgins who were both more rock ‘n’ roll than either 10cc or Herman’s Hermits.  Between 1980 and 1984 I got more publicity in snooker than in almost 20 years of music and the stories are amazing … from a winter trip with Alex Higgins in deep snow on the M62 from Yorkshire back to Manchester over the Pennines … to Jimmy White’s involvement with the ‘Two Ronnies’ - not the comedy duo, but Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones and Ronnie Kray of the Kray Twins.
