ON not being included on the Blackburn station mural honouring the town's favourite people, ex-world snooker champion Dennis Taylor remarked that it must have been the decision of someone who does not like snooker (LET, August 3).
I'm afraid that if one had to pick the greatest snooker player who ever lived in this town, it would not be Dennis Taylor. It would without doubt be Alex Higgins, who Dennis would also rank as the greatest snooker player to come from his homeland -- Northern Ireland.
T JONES (Mr), Beardwood, Blackburn.
