Name: Neil Robertson

Nickname: Ginger

Walk on Music: …quality hear it here and at last ‘Down Under’ is Banished

Likes: Hair dye, Straighteners, Rod Stewart.

Dislikes: Playgrounds, Australians.

As we all know children are the spawn of the devil. They can be savagely cruel and it’s about time people stopped having them. Take poor old Robbo for instance, mocked and ridiculed from birth by vile children. He would walk into the playground and be greeted daily with the chant ‘You Curly Ginger Tosspot’ by the baying crowd of youths waiting for him each day. But take a look at him now, while all said youths have grown into fat, foul mouthed alcoholics who gamble too much and beat up their wives for pleasure Neil has blossomed into a beautiful Aussie swan and come over to the far more civilised leafy surroundings of Cambridgeshire in good old England. Gone are the curls and the ginger locks and he now sports a very convincing blonde wig which he bought off a retiring Rod Stewart tribute act for £3.50 at his local pub. But it suits him down to the ground and you can’t even see the join or the label unless you look very closely. Neil’s proudest moment of course was when he won the World Championship for his mum who flew over all the way from Australia to be there, it’s a good job she did because by the time the final finished everyone else was asleep, including his opponent Graeme Dott. But even though he’s from Australia, we still love the lovely Robster.

@snookerbacker: Last year?? I know he is too young to have starred in an 80s soap but I thought you had pulled that one from the archives.

@Claus – yes it is. Championship League at Crondon Park last year.

Ginger curls or not, I still would.
