Best place to eat while you're at the snooker or see a show when in Sheffield. Lots of Snooker type people eat in here too. This chap even said he won it once & something about a black ball final. @dennistaylor147 @SteveSnooker

He made players better players. They would run through brick walls for him. They wanted to wear the Sky blues shirt. He made us believe and we would follow him to Wembley. He turned us into FA Cup winners He brought a City together and made us proud. Saturday let's make him proud
