The Humbledon lad to shared his name with a world renowned snooker star: Share your own celebrity name
Humbledon 13 year old was no stranger to the green baize
Wearside potter Steve Davies was taking a cue from his namesake.
The 13-year-old from Humbledon was no stranger to the green baize as he chalked up a couple of tournaments on holiday in 1996.
But his real love was football and the Sunderland Echo was told: “He plays key role with his team, Barnes Park Rovers.”
Wearside’s own Steve did not mind one bit that he had a famous namesake.
The Sandhill View pupil said back in 1996: “I really enjoy watching the game sometimes.”
His mum Wendy said: “He’s not too bothered - a name's, a name.”
