(50 plus I believe) All in practice I believe but around the black spot nobody could touch him. Sadly his long game wasn't as good hence only one rankinghttps://community.betfair.com/snooker/go/thread/view/94174/31652205/willie-in-an-induced-coma?post_id=559465731#559465731Mr maximum (how many did he get?)At a guess more than any other player to have played the game.
