Ronnie tells a story in his first autobiography of him and Jimmy playing a match with Ronnie Wood pouring them drinks. Best either of them ever played, he said.

4 of 5. The Thai Masters is the only incorrect one.

Not International Open I'm afraid. I still will require all 5 tournaments to be named just to avoid any controversy.

Hurrah!
Going back to Tony Drago for a moment, as I often like to do; one of Tony’s other successes was to be a member of the Rest of the World team who were surprise finalists in the 1989 (Fersina Windows) Snooker World Cup.
Who were his two team-mates, who between them pushed a star-studded England team (S.Davis, J.White, N.Foulds) all the way to a deciding frame?

No no no, Canada were always represented by a team of their own in those days, almost always anchored by Captain Thorburn.

Silvino Francisco and Eddie Charlton?
I don't think Eddie was still playing then but it's worth a go.

Silvino is one
But, like Canada, Australia were represented as a full team - with Steady Eddie in charge of Warren King and John Campbell, more often than not.

Oh, and Eddie was playing well into the 90s - it was 92 when Parrott inflicted the first Crucible whitewash on him

No he’s not. Apologies, thought I had communicated that yesterday.
Now I remember, I was on the tube with no signal and message didn’t send. I forgot to come back to it

The usually uncontroversial Dene O'Kane was fined during the 1995 Thailand Classic for an infraction with his dress code.
What was it in particular that the WPBSA took a dim view of?
(I will give the answer if someone gets close enough.)
