Willie Thorne announced he had leukaemia in March. Last week he was admitted to hospital. The news he is dead came this morning. In August 2019 he said: "Through gambling, yes.


Sometimes I would get into a mess. The worst time was when I expected to get to the quarter final of a tournament and win £15,000 to pay off all my bills. But I didn’t get through and had to


borrow money from a friend to settle my debts and pay my mortgage. "I still find it hard to keep on the straight and narrow, but two years ago I decided I needed to knuckle down and


get some structure in my life. And that is what I have been trying to do ever since." He went on: "I probably borrowed £1million over the years in order to gamble – and I am still


in debt from it all. When I look back it upsets me." Willie also revealed her cashed his pension in while gambling, leaving him with just his state pension to live off. His dad was also


a gambler. But his snooker career did afford him big financial success. Tributes came in for the snooker player. Piers Morgan tweeted: "RIP Willie Thorne, 66. Great snooker player


& a wonderful character. Sad news." Another said: "Sad about Willie Thorne. When my old man was 17/18 he joined the snooker hall that Willie used. "They got pally and one


night ended up down the casino, they won a fortune 80/20 in favour of Willie and he split it down the middle and My old man bought a house with it. What a bloke."
