    What were you doing Willie!
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2012*

A good read which I found I was unable to put down for long, although found parts of it exasperating, mainly Willies gambling addiction! I felt as if I wanted to slap some s ense into him. Its very sobering when someone as articulate as Willie could be sucked into what can only be called a mugs game, especially the way he was gambling.The book takes you through his life from childhood and how he came to be interested in snooker, found he was gifted at the game, through his pro career and family life which was effectively destroyed by his gambling.The book does tend to repeat itself slightly and reiterate points that had already been mentioned.There are some stories of old snooker players like Alex Higgins etc but not as many as I thought there would be which was probably a good thing. The main sentiment of the book was Willies gambling addiction which eventually led to him trying to take his own life. It does have a reasonably happy ending though and Willie continues his snooker commentary and after dinner speech work.Recommended not only for snoooker fans but as a study of addiction

    A truly nice man.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2022*

A truly nice guy. Would talk to anyone. Perhaps too nice to be a serial winner. We all have our demons. Shame that many people will remember the gambling.
