Former Villamartin based late snooker star Willie Thorne’s lifetime cue has been sold by auction that will benefit 20-20 Voice Cancer charity, which Willie was patron.
“Willie’s cue was successfully auctioned for The 20-20 Voice cancer charity,” Willie’s wife Jill Saxby exclusively told The Leader after the cue went under public auction.
“Willie played all his life with his one and only cue, from the age of 14,” added Jill, who took place of Willie as Patron of 20-20 Voice Cancer following his death last year.
“His cue went for auction to raise funds for his charity of choice – 20-20 Voice Cancer. Money raised will help early diagnosis of this little known cancer, that affects so many,” said Jill.
