Pakistan's pioneering potter a true chin-novator

Ikram remembers watching other children playing on dusty pool tables outside his home when he was a 10-year-old kid. He always wished one day he could also play the game, but just needed to work out how.

"At that time I wished I had arms so that I could play the game too," Ikram told Associated Press.

Eventually he devised his own style and later went to a nearby club, looking for a game.

"People didn't believe me in the club that I could play with my chin," he said, "but they gradually started admiring my skills when I started hitting the cue ball with the chin."
