A flash back to my memories on 1969. When I was 15 years old. The Then world champion from Australia Bob Marshall was traveling to U. K. To participate in the world Billiard tournament. He made a brief visit to meet his good friend M. J. M. Lafir to warm up with him in a 2 hour billiards game. The world champion won the keenly contested match It was a 80% match with both playing top table billiards it was a treat to watch them play at the Anglers sports club I was at the tables from 4.pm to reserve my seat the match started around 7.30.pm at that time it was 15 pot rule. It was a custom those days the foreign players come to Srilanka to play warm up matches with our world Champ Marhoom M. J. M. Lafir. He learned top table the post men knock play from the Maestro the creator of top table play. Bob Marshall May all the Billiards playing members follow his coaching by watching this video patiently & be benefitted Regards to all
Terrible camera work - would have been so much better if he hadn't moved around so much - like all amateur film makers they never seem able to stay fixed for more than 2 seconds!

No, but I believe it was a different material to the new ones, I forget the name but ends in lite

I was told that his big problem was that he coached people who couldn't win..
He wanted a world champion but he couldn't get..only what I was told.
Hi Mike, nice to have such a legend of the sport drop a comment. Literally haven't logged into this account in maybe 8 or so years.
