York Elvis impersonator Eddie Vee with snooker players Ken Doherty, left, and Jimmy White, at the new William Hill bookmakers in Colliergate, York
DON’T you step on my green baize shoes – two snooker champions have teamed up with York’s own Elvis to mark the opening of a new betting shop in the city.
Jimmy White and Ken Doherty took the UK Snooker Championship trophy with them to meet Elvis impersonator Eddie Vee and other fans at the William Hill branch in Colliergate, due to the firm sponsoring the UK Snooker Championship in York.
William Hill also sponsored Eddie when he stood for the Monster Raving Loony Party at the last General Election.
