The benevolent fund of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association must reconsider thier decision not to come to the aid of former Snooker champion, Chris Turner. Chris has been forced to quit Snooker due to a spine condition, yet the fund refuse to help him and his family, despite the former champion relying on his wife\'s part-time income. The fund was setup to help players who have fallen on hard times and has helped former stars such as Alex Higgins. In Small\'s case, the condition he is suffering could be linked with the participation of the sport, unlike some others who, although suffer a horrible disease, could be construed as inflicting it on themselves through habits chosen by themselves. Give Chris and his family the help they deserve!

Absolute disgrace. The WPBSA should look after their own especially someone who gave so much to the game. Sort this out.

Chris has done so much for snooker over the years. It is really sad to see him struggling like this when the fund is right there. Help him.
