Known as the “Father of Foos” and “Mr. Bank Shot” Snider, who passed away in 2000, first played the game of foosball in the early 1960’s. He learned to play using cork balls and became one of the first dominant players in the Pacific northwest. Among his many accomplishments, he is given credit as the originator of the bank shot and also established the first-ever foosball leagues in the early 1970’s. Snider was also a member of the first T.S. traveling promo teams in 1974.
