He was inducted into the One Pocket Hall of Fame in 2004 for his contributions to the pocket billiard game of one pocket. Some believe that Walter Tevis, who wrote the book The Hustler that later became an Academy Award-winning film, based the character of "Fast Eddie" on Ronnie Allen after seeing him compete. Minnesota Fats said of Ronnie Allen, "Anybody who plays him for money ain't got no chance at all." (en)
