James Maddison On His Snooker Obsession, Beckham & Life At Spurs

[@jgilds7947]

He comes across really down to earth…his parents did a great job raising him…really enjoyable episode 👍🏻

[@dondamon4669]

People thought Jeffrey Dahmer was a good bloke and there's you judging him and even his parents just by a KZbin video 😂 what do you expect him to do on a KZbin video? Walk around with his pants down,spit on the floor, stick the cue up Stephen when he's taking a shot?
