MacDonald |
1985 |
The former world snooker champion tells some of his
stories and jokes that he has heard and been involved
in during his travels around the circuit. Some are about
himself, while others concern professionals like Alex
Higgins and Terry Griffiths. There are stories about
the referees Dennis has known, weird tales from the
commentary box - and Irish jokes of course. A
very readable, marvellously amusing book. |
