Not only a class player but a first class human, a gentleman with super sense of humour

RIP

I think they had some great matches too

Just thought I'd post this just to show how Terry did it in 1979:-

He got 10K for winning it out of a £35.000 pool and probably would have won considerablty more had he won it more recently he probably did it hard way I think, when you consider he beat both Perrie Mans and Eddie Charlton with Perrie being (at the time) the only left handed snooker pro. I remember the mornnig after the Final The Sun printed a picture of him.

He ended up with a bigger trophy then Steve Davis.

RIP Terry Griffiths.
