For many years Wales has been a hotbed of talent for the World Snooker Tour and in the latest episode of the WPBSA Snooker Podcast we discuss just a few of the stars from the valleys to have made their imprint upon our sport.
Host Michael McMullan is joined by Wayne Griffiths, son of 1979 world champion Terry Griffiths and leading snooker coach in his own right, as well as WPBSA Player Relations Manager and former Tour player Neil Tomkins to recount their own fascinating experiences of growing up in Wales and the snooker scene in the country.
Among the topics discussed are of course Griffiths' memories of his father's world title triumph, as well as stories of iconic names including Ray Reardon, Doug Mountjoy and many more. The pair also discuss the many events that took place regularly throughout the country, from pro-ams and night flyers, to the Welsh Amateur Championship and much more.
