Hi Webfax. One match involving Doug that I've been trying to track down for some time now is a 1985 Doubles encounter where he & Wayne Jones beat Tony Knowles & Joe Johnson on the final black. Snooker Scene labelled it one of the most thrilling finishes ever seen on TV at the time. Would be eternally grateful if you're able to upload that one.

Will you be uploading more snooker from the 80s again bro ? 💙 Love your channel

Terry was widely considered as a boring slow player but he was far from it here and it's not the first time I've seen him play in fairly quick fashion.

[@adamoliver5589]

To be honest i noticed that too. Dennis taylor was slower than terry but no one mentions that about dennis.

Keep them coming. Is your collection mainly Doug or did you record other players?

[@webfax4146]

Mostly Doug

[@digeme69]

@@webfax4146 Ok thanks, the 83 Lada Classic match with Big Bill would be a good one to see, although I appreciate that it is quite rare.

[@patriciataylor4298]

Webfax - do you have any footage of the semi-final match with Ireland at all? If so will you be uploading it?

[@webfax4146]

Unfortunately, I don't have it.
