ROB MILKINS admits embarrassment and being fined over a drunken night of chaos in Turkey helped turn his life and career around.
The Milkman delivered a second-ranking title at the Welsh Open on Sunday night, landing him a jackpot of almost £300,000 taking into account the prize money, a series bonus and other spin-offs.
The 9-7 win against former world champion Shaun Murphy put Gloucester’s Milkins, 46, back in the top 16 after the best 11 months of his 28 years on tour.
But a year ago, Milkins was at rock bottom after going on a birthday bender at the Turkish Masters in Antalya.
