- Tony Knowles is tracked down in Bowness-on-Windermere as he prepares for the 2011 Q School.
Fondly remembered as snookers very own Casanova from the games heyday in the 1980's, Tony Knowles was also one of the most fluent and stylish players of his era as this collection of archive footage highlights. If you have any Knowelsy footage or memorabilia to trade or even if you'd just like to share your very own TK memories then please get in touch.
I'm guessing he only said he was going to cue school, to get a bit of publicity for his pub...
Total legend from a great era. So sad we all have to get old. My sisters were mad on him back in the day. A real heart-throb. 😢
great to see Tony again
He was really fast! A fantastic cue action as well. Should have been much more successful but he seems like he has an amazing life so he couldn't have done that much wrong.
He's had quite a turbulent retirement actually Paul despite the picture painted in this feature. My book about him documents it all in case you're interested.
@@gareth110777 hi Gareth, yes mate I am. I didn't mean to but I'm amassing quite a good snooker book collection and I really like Tony Knowles, he's a part of the golden era of snooks. Do you have a website or is it on amazon? 🤔
@@paulriggall8370 Yes, the book was released last year Paul and is currently available on Amazon's UK site.
does Tony still run the pub?
Yes, him and his partner still run it apparently.
@Christopher Jennings Many women would have paid good money for that some time ago.
@@gareth110777 Yes his partner Kath. I'm great friends with Tony. We go the crucible together each year.
No characters at all in snooker today
1980s was best time for sport, so many characters i remember as a kid, like you all do.
White working class heroes are no-more in england, or in white countries.
They keep saying former world #2 but didn't he get to #1 briefly?
He was provisional (i.e. mid-season) number 1 at the end of 1983/ beginning of 1984 but that never counted as an official position like it does nowadays. Same thing happened to Jimmy White a decade later so again he was also never an official World number 1 even though he did briefly top the provisional list.
Lol funny story about this guy and that "hotel" he calls it but I'll save it for my grandchildren.
Do tell. Nothing would surprise me tbh after all the bad things I've heard about Churchill's over the years.
Tony rode every bird. Good job hazel not around then. Former great ken. Im a dub. Know his mate gerry little. Ken you are a disgrace to US DUBS
What a weird comment
Tw1t, you left school way too early.
Ken is a legend
Only 2 titles. Surprised he didn't win more
@Paul women?
2 titles. Thousands of titties😂😂😂
When I was 9 my step dad stuck a welding lead into my hands, how convenient to be pampered by getting to grow up playing snooker, these guy's never did a days work in their lives.
Skeefoo Panama other than help building that hotel himself.....
@@BarryRerack147 No thanks Jerk off.......
Still welding? 🤔
