Ive never spoken to anyone that was there when Terry won the World Championship all those years ago. Is there anyone on here that was there? or do you know of anyone that attended. What was it like in Llanelli after he won??? ------------- West is Best (Fin gwybod) |

Dennis Taylor.....hoho......Oh people on here....hmm I doubt it...I know he had an open top bus through the town and thousands turned out...He told me once that after he won the world title he was never able to go for a pint in llanelli again...he got the whole, who does he think he is attitude most of the time...on the other hand me and a few deadbeats accompanied him to the old workies club and he was happy as larry.
....clips of the final....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iptKYdM4Ovc .....The last time I checked ,the table he won it on is in John Longs house at the top of old road, and it plays lovely.. Theres also a wurlitzer juke box and a persian cat I forgot to feed  ------------- ROYMOND MUNTER MBE (FOR SERVICES TO THE COMBOVER) |
