Snooker star hopes to play after stroke
A FORMER snooker star yesterday said he was making a good recovery from a stroke and hoped to go back to the game.
Dean Reynolds, originally from Grimsby but now living in Sheffield, suffered a stroke at his home on April 4 while watching TV and was taken to the city's Northern General Hospital.
The 46-year-old, a left-handed player winning the first ever Junior Pot Black contest in 1981, lost all feeling in his left side, and found his left hand was completely paralysed.
He said: "I have made a great deal of progress during my time in hospital, the treatment has been excellent and the exercises that I have been working on with the physiotherapist have helped me get some movement back.
"I do hope that in time I will be able to play snooker again, although it may be like starting from scratch if I have to use my right hand rather than my left which has been most affected by the stroke."
