It was meant to go for about £3million.Īfter an hour-and-a-half he finished with £111m. Sylvia, Damien’s PA, was taking the phone calls. So we got there for around 6pm, hit a few balls and the auction was kicking off at 7pm. ‘I’ll bring the balls and the cues and meet you there.’Īnd he was like: ‘Yeah, lovely, come down.’

‘It’s too much for me to be around it and I just love playing snooker.’ ‘Normally when an auction’s going on I just go down the Groucho Club and hit a few balls,’ he said. But on the amateur circuit, where the prize money was £1,000, £1,500 or even two-and-a-half grand, I was regularly winning.ĭamien decided to flog an entire show called ‘Beautiful Inside My Head Forever’ and he gave me a ring before the auction and told me about it, then said he wasn’t going to be there for it. The reason I was making so much money was because I was winning proper amateur events.Ī lot of these kids would win the odd junior event so they’d make £300-£400. At 12, I won my first pro-am tournament and when I was 15, I made my first maximum.Īt 12, I was making 20 grand a year. I had a snooker room built for me at the end of the garden when I was 11 and I’d spend 10 to 11 hours a day in there just hitting balls.īy the age of 10, I was making centuries.
