I started at 13 but what inspired me to start were the worlds in Birmingham in 1977,
they were broadcast live every day
Every day,brilliant,not since then have tt broadcast live every day on a terestrial channel,
thats 35 years without major coverage of our sport.....35years...a disgrace.
Judging by how popular the vets are a massive influx of players must also have been inspired by this event.
It had everything,the amazing and mysterious chinese the incredible hungarians,stellan bengtson,good english players,full houses almost every day,but and how on earth we have nt had live tt from start to a finish of a major tournament for 35 years is nothing short of a national disgrace....
The BBC followed this up with invitational tourneys which are ok but lack the drama of a real tourny,mind you we hav nt been inundated with major championships in the last few years,top 12 1983,euro asia 1988,euros 1994,worlds 1997,come on lets get a proper tourny here,hopefully the olympics will provide a platform to showcase our sport,,,,not on the red button please ,get it on live on bbc 1 or 2..
