Tel u've been in this league 10 mins m8, THE MARK MILLER(retired long before world rules introduced)would have destroyed most of the players currently playing in our league and if you want confirmation of that you would only need to ask some of our longer(prop,eagles & unpred's) serving members of croydon pool.
No disrespect to Mark Hartley Miller as he is an original too and a fine player also.

mark Hartley miller is without douht a fine attacking player but having played with mark miller in the unpredictables before he retired he was total class,one of the best attacking players ever to grace our league,
in a money match there would only be 1 winner,the original mark miller and I think most old school would agree.

The Original Mark Miller was a quality player. First played against him in about 1985 when he played from the Horse & Groom. He had red waffle track suit bottoms on & a pair of shiny black shoes. I thought he doesn't look like a pool player, but i was wrong.
Think Hughie Telford, Eddie Taylor & Tony Nuttman were in that side too ?
I would rather be playing golf |

The last horse and groom team before we moved to the spread Eagle and became the Eagles was
Hugh Telford
Mark Miller
Eddie Taylor
Alan Welshe
Tony Nuttman
Jack Wilson/Fred Green
Peter Frith
Mark Miller was like Metin but in an age where everybody snookered every shot he was a bit out of the ordinary |

People did actually break & dish in the "Old days" the rules back then just meant if you missed your last ball or the black you were very unlikely to win as the other player would get 2 shots & they were much more of an advantage back then before world rules.
You could roll up behind a ball without hitting a cushion so get a really good snooker & then pick the white up regardless & pot any ball on the table, so people were less reluctant to go for it because thay nearly always lost if they didn't make it.
You can't really knock Blosse, he got number 1 ranked player, playing to the rules of the time, people sussed his game & played accordinally in the end.
Jumps, Jason Deegan, Paul Wherty, Shaggy, Eddie Taylor & a whole host of others dished just as often as any player does now. Don't think anyone is saying that Mark Hartley Miller isn't a quality player, just that in their opinion Mark Miller was better.
Also think its difficult for anyone who hasn't seen them both play to say who they think is better, thats like watching a film & then saying it's better than one you you have never seen.

would love to put money on it but unfortunately mark retired a few years back and I don't think hes interested in playing pool anymore,would have been a good attacking match which in my opinun mark (old school)would win.

The original Mark Miller would have absolutely thrived at the new rules. He gave up in his early/mid thirties so probably didn't even reach his peak. He was still the best/one of the best players in a league that was arguably a lot stronger than it is now.
Very difficult to judge eras, but the newer guys do need to remember that the vast majority of the best players of the late 80's early 90's dont play anymore. That doesn't mean they weren't any good, and I woudn't want to be playing some of them for a pound note thats for sure.
And in the Miller Miller game I know who id be putting my money on..... Miller!

iv said this before but in my opinion the standard ov the top boys seemed higher back in the day but i guess it would do if ur a young improver working ur way up...i do believe tho the general standard today seems much higher as even the weaker players seem to av a gr8 deal ov ability n the rules today r a big leveler...would also like to let the powers that b i wil try n pop down n play frame for the old boys if possible n ava few beers
