Re: Snooker tables

A few snooker players came to Riley's when they were in Accrington.
I lived just round the corner on Hood street at the time and had a few suits made by the little Italian tailor on Meadow street ( next street). He showed my photos of some of the players who came into his shop.
I was given a decent suit length of cloth by my guv'ner and the tailor made me a suit. My claim to fame is; there wasn't enough material to make a waistcoat so the tailor made a contrasting one using the spare material left over from the suit he had just made for Dennis Taylor when he won the final.
