Nice to see some footage of Graham Miles. I always enjoyed watching him play with his unique style with his chin down the side of his cue. He became my Dad's favourite player after he saw Graham do an exhibition in Mansfield. Heather's face was a picture when he asked her to remind him of how long ago they met ! That's the first time I have ever seen her talk. She had a different hairstyle when she watched Graham beat John Spencer in the Pot Black final; five years earlier.
Nice interview, always remember him for his non-textbook cueing the cue was almost under his ear whilst down on the shot, sadly no longer with us but he went onto run a pub in Walsall a few years ago after retiring from snooker.
Miles was runner-up twice to Reardon in major finals-the ‘74 Professional Championship, and the Masters in ‘76. He represented a brighter and breezier time in the game, which was all but destroyed by Messrs Hearn and Davis.
He was a very good player in his day - sadly no longer with us but there is footage of him playing in the BBC seniors pot black 1997 on You Tube and he comes across as a lovely guy with a great sense of humour
What a rare find. Both excellent professionals in their chosen fields.

I had the privilege of playing him in Omagh INF club when he was doing an exhibition.He was brilliant and had a lovely personality.

I've got a picture of him which my Dad took in the 70's, when he was playing at Pontins.

great vid
Lovely footage
My late dad used to work with Graham Miles on the buses. Said he was a right arrogant git.
When and how did Graham die
