    Did you see Patsy Fagan on the BBC snooker team yesterday? He was a special guest marking the tournaments thirtieth year. Patsy won it in 1977. I had never heard of him before, he seems like a bit of a legend. Apparently he was a top player but was forced to give up the game due to his inability to use the rest properly. I always thought that Denis Taylor and Alex Higgins were the only Irish snooker stars of the 70ies & 80ies. Which county is Patsy from?
