A player bearing a remarkable resemblence to recently retired cueist Andy Holland, complete with Ashley and Frankie lokalikes, although the Frankie lookalike was probably a little too big to be convincing, attended the Ilford Saturday Comp. They almost pulled off the ruse, but then the Andy lookalike went and spoilt it by winning the comp, obviously something the real Andy would never have done.

The way i look at it is take for example Alan Shearer(Newcastle)he has packed up playing for England to concentrate on his club career,says that being able to donate all of his time to his club will help him play much better. Myself Andy Holland (another great sportsman) has felt in retiring from some area's of the game will help me, As of course Benjy found out at the Ilford comp(20/7/02)when he was crushed 3-zip to the dutch, he did get one on the board which was the start that had to be given. Who will be the next great sportsman to follow in the tracks of Andy Holland and Alan Shearer?
