abz123 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well done> Stopped following it myself a few years back but good to hear that the "usual suspects" have competition. Who was the first Aussie, just out of curiousity? Too lazy to Google it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aldo Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 good on him "If this doesn't do anything (for the sport), I don't know, I probably won't call myself Australian any more," :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest proud2beaussie Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Who was the first Aussie, just out of curiousity? Robertson is only the second after Horace Lindrum. Horace Lindrum (15 January 1912, Paddington, Sydney, New South Wales – 20 June 1974, Dee Why, Sydney) was an Australian professional snooker and carom billiards player. He was the great grandson of Australia's first billiards champion, the grandson of the great billiard coach, Frederick William Lindrum II, and nephew of Frederick William Lindrum III and Walter Lindrum. During his fifty-year career he was known affectionately as 'the Ace' in India, 'Tikoloshe' (meaning 'Witchdoctor') in Africa, 'Boy Wonder' in Australia and 'the Peter Pan of Snooker' in England.
