Ken Doherty has told how his mother made him deliver a tray of apple tarts to the local Spar supermarket just days after he won the World Snooker Championships.
The cue ace dubbed the “Pride of Dublin” admitted the biggest win of his life 25 years ago this week made little difference to the Doherty household.
And Ken, who lost his dad Tony when he was just 13, reckons the grit that saw him defeat Stephen Hendry at the Crucible in 1997 probably came from mum Rose.
