Snooker

A few weeks back i was looking on the ‘British film institute’ website and had a look to see what footage they had on 1970s Snooker. They had a good amount of old footage some dating back from 1971 to around 1990 but i’m sure they have more recent footage. I made an appointment not so long ago with the BFI to look at various matches and to make notes at their research centre in London. A couple of matches that i got to see were the 1978 Daily Mirror Champion Of Champions plus the 1978 Dry Blackthorn Cup between Alex Higgins and Ray Reardon. Of course there is a fee to see these tapes but for me it was well worth it. The site is worth a look at if your interested in the early days of Snooker. Just thought i’d tell my fellow members incase any of you are indeed interested.
