Doug Mountjoy Page one (325 words)
Doug's game was in a dreadful state when we got together in February 1988.
Doug had never read a book about snooker, never had a day's coaching in his life, and I knew as soon as he picked up his cue and practised with me that a lot of hard work had to be done if he was to become successful again.
For instance, Doug's idea of putting side on the cue ball was to hit across it either to the left or the right.
