Glenn Womack, renowned as “The Eufaula Kid,” was one of the only southern players universally regarded as unbeatable during the the era of so-called “Rebel traps” tables with tight pockets. Eddie Robin similarly recalled that Eufaula was a formidable player in the 1940s, having engaged in several intense matches with Johnny “Irish” Lineen. Remarked Robin: “Anyone who could play ‘Irish’ even up in those days should be considered an all-time great, win or lose. Womack was born on Feb. 6, 1919 and died on December 21, 1982.
