Word coming out Terry Griffiths has passed away today ... Sean Murphy just tweeted it.
Remember watching him beat Dennis Taylor at the Crucible 45 yrs ago on the TV.
RIP Terry Griffiths.

He was 77 and had been afflicted by that most horrible condition namely dementia. A painless end to life for the sufferer but so much pain inflicted on your loved ones watching it take everything except your body
RIP Terry your snooker was never boring but cool calm and calculated

He was great on commentary too - one of the few who actually gave some tactical understanding behind the shots and would 'map out' how players would play out the frame, in his ace Welsh accent. You can see why so many players employed him as a coach. RIP

Got to be one of the slowest ever players!
Nonetheless, a nice guy in interviews and worthy world champion.
77 was no age and dementia a dreadful end to a sporting hero.
