Ronni O Sallivan Kniga
The snooker legend won £10million during his glittering career Ronnie said: “It wasn’t a healthy way to be brought up because I was always led on by older boys. “But it was fun.

Eighty per cent of the time I’d lose it all.

“I’ve always been a bit naughty. One time I set off a load of stink bombs during a snooker tournament because some older lads told me to. My dad wasn’t happy.”. Ronnie is set to marry Holby City star Laila Rouass during his glittering career on the baize, threw himself into snooker until his life was turned upside-down in 1992, when his dad was jailed for 17 years for murder. He said: “It messed with my head. I went through a big drinking phase. When my dad went away, I went off the rails a bit.” In 1998, at a tournament after his partying got out of control.
He would regularly be seen out with stars including Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. He said: “When I was having my weekly benders and my private life was in bits, I had a brilliant year professionally.
I remember getting to every and thinking, ‘I can’t wait until this tournament is over ’cos then there’s no more drug tests — I can go out and smash it’. Ronnie reckons he now drinks just 'once every six months' “I went to rehab in 2001. I wanted to turn my life around and spent a month in The Priory. I went on this road to find my inner contentment.
And for me, it’s the simple things.” Ronnie reckons he now drinks just “once every six months, maybe on New Year’s Eve”. He credits Laila, his partner of almost seven years, for helping him stay on the straight and narrow. He said: “Laila is very good for me. I want to be with her for the rest of my life and I hope she feels the same. We are pretty similar.
“She brings the best out of me. She has me in stitches. She bites when I try to wind her up — but I wouldn’t play practical jokes on her. She’d kill me! Ronnie, seen here collecting his OBE, and Laila got engaged in 2014 Ronnie told us: “The wedding will happen but not a big thing. Close friends only and low-key.
I don’t like big gatherings.” Guest of honour will be Ronnie’s dad, who is “best friends” with the star. Ronnie was there for his dad after Ronald was released from jail in 2009. He served 17 years for fatally stabbing a father of two. Ronnie said: “It was hard seeing someone I looked up to trying to re-adapt to life. He struggled.
He would go down from his flat to the petrol garage next door to buy a Snickers bar and say, ‘I can’t do it’. “It took him four years to be deinstitutionalised. Now he’s fine. Raokriom kniga teni nastoyaschaya chernaya kniga para.
He’s my closest mate. He’s my biggest fan and tells me I’m the best all the time. I have to tell him to calm down.”.
