Last thing i recall about Neil was when he restored the figures in the Accrington Crib...but that's going back a while now!

The last time I heard from him he was living in Blackburn near the Mill Hill Club, I remember him staring a restoration business but that's ages ago. Back in the eighties I was his manager when he was on the pro Pool circuit, he was a member of the 3PO, did quite a lot of promotional work for Whitbreads, pool challenge nights all over the north west, I used to Ref the matches for him and help on the trick shot sessions
