Hi,
Steve Knight (although he's taking a break from pool at the moment apparently), Imran Majid, Raj Hundal, Tony Drago, Rico Diks and Kevin Hew to name just a few. I made my first trip to Victoria a few weeks back and it's incredible. The staff are wonderful too.
Hope this helps,
Chris.

Mika Immonen has been playing there recently practicing with Raj and Tony Drago. Raj said it in passing whilst over in Norway.

Hi again, Well I've only been the once as I said above but I've always read that Raj and Imran play there and that's what the manager Mrs. Billings said to me too. She gave me all the inside gossip! Imran in particular plays in the Saturday handicap tournament at Victoria most weeks I'm told. I was told that it was Steve Knight who "made" Victoria- it became known as his club and that in turn brought other top pros in. Go and visit and ask the staff- they'll happily give you all the info you want. Nothing's too much trouble for them. Hope this helps, Chris.

I pay a visit there sometimes and play in a few of there Saturday Night Tournaments.
Imran & Raj used to play at Hounslow but havent done for a few years now.
Imran Majid, Raj Hundal, Rico Diks, Tony Drago, Martinho Correia, So Shaw, Lionel Brown, Nigel Francis play there. Other top players from other clubs or from abroad have been known to go there. Also there are quite a few good money & club players who dont play in main competitive events play out of there.
With Steve Knight I know the last 2 or 3 years he has been on & off from playing pool due to stuff off the table. I hope he can pick himself up, find a new love for the game and get back into playing competitivly again on the world stage where he belongs.
Also the UK Sports Management go there who are good guys.
