"A photograph taken prior to the start of the billiards match at Wolverhampton on 16 February, 1931. Left to right: The Mayor of Wolverhampton (Councillor J. Haddock), Walter Lindrum, the referee Arthur Goundrill, and Clark McConachy. In the centre is the gold cup which Lindrum had recently won with a dramatic comeback in the final against Tom Newman, after conceding 7,000 points start to his 3 opponents in the International Gold Cup Tourney. It was during this match that Lindrum failed to appear at the afternoon session on 19 February. Lindrum had secretly travelled to London by train for a Command Performance at Buckingham Palace." - Andrew Ricketts
