Glory baize … Geoff Davies and Blue on BGT

A SNOOKER-playing dog who won fame on Britain’s Got Talent has been accidentally mown down and KILLED by his owner.

Border collie Blue was resting under a tractor when Geoff Davies reversed it over him.

The pooch, 11, who showed off his skills in the opening round of the ITV show this year, died in Geoff’s arms at his farm.

He said: “Blue was up to his normal tricks, chasing a JCB I was driving.

“It was such a warm day he took cover under a tractor. I moved from the JCB to the tractor.

“I didn’t know he was under the wheels. As soon as I realised what had happened I was horrified.

"It was too late to call the vet, so I sat with him while he drifted off.”

Distraught Geoff, 39, added: “Of all the things, I was the one who ran him over.”

He began taking Blue to his local boozer in Bastchurch, Shrops, when the mutt was just six weeks old.

Blue took an interest in the balls and Geoff taught him to play.

He has now buried his beloved pal in a coffin made by a carpenter friend.

He said: “My son Scott put in his pool cue and three balls, white, black and red. He will be missed by everyone. He was a superstar dog.”
