'Dracula', the legend of billiards, passes away

Six-time world billiards champion Ray Reardon has died at the age of 91.

The Welshman dominated the World Billiards Championship in the 1970s in a similar fashion to Steve Davis in the 1980s and Stephen Hendry in the 1990s.


Nicknamed "Dracula" because of his hairstyle, Reardon "was one of the most popular and charismatic figures of his era, beloved by millions of fans for his brilliance at the table and good humor off it."
