  • Tony Knowles
    Tony Knowles - Fondly known as Knowlesy By Elliott West Tony Knowles is one of the iconic players of the golden years of snooker Name: Tony Knowles and played all the game’s greats in the 1980s. This quietly spoken, gentle Born: 13 June 1955 giant with an infectious grin first started playing snooker at the age of nine Nationality: England and was always destined for the heady heights of the sport. I have lucky Highest Break: 139 enough to meet Tony and shared some time with him during an exhibition match in Kent with my good friend Joe Johnson. A raconteur of the old days,” Knowlesy“ as we like to call him, is a master of the game, knowing every shot and angle there is on a snooker table and his trick shots are unbelievable. Knowles first made his name in snooker when as a qualifier he defeated the iconic Steve Davis in the first round of the World Championship in 1982. Davis was on a momentous winning streak at the time, having convincingly won the 1981 World Championship. However the lad from Bolton was not phased by this Romford kid and produced some of his best snooker in the match, ending it with a 10-1 drubbing over Davis. This match left Steve reeling and is equal in defeats to the 1985 World Championship black ball win by Dennis Taylor. Like so many in the sport, it is frustrating that Tony didn’t win big in snooker and all the top titles eluded him for his playing career. However there was silverware on the way on his illustrious career path.

  • The British Open - the Plymouth Years by Elliott West
    The British Open - The Plymouth Years By Elliott West Snooker has a vast treasure trove of tournaments in its past and one that definitely springs to mind is the former British Open. The tournament began life in 1980 in the Assembly Rooms Derby in 1980 and was a sixteen-man invitational event with a round-robin stage with winners advancing to the semi-finals. The next two years the tournament was renamed twice, first being called the Yamaha Organs Trophy and then the International Masters. After Yamaha decided to withdraw its sponsorship the event was finally called the British Open in 1985.The tournament moved from Derby to Plymouth, Newcastle and in its final years was played out in Brighton. For this piece, I want to concentrate my attention on the event’s time at Plymouth. In 1994, the British Open moved to the Plymouth Pavilions. Plymouth probably had the golden years of its life in this South West city and all the greats of the modern game graced its stage. By this time the “Class of ‘92” were just starting to break through onto the snooker circuit and the likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan, John Higgins and Mark Williams all won the tournament in the Plymouth years. Ronnie won the first in 1994, beating James Wattana in the final, 9-4, John Higgins in 1995, beating the previous year’s winner, O’Sullivan, 9-6 and again in 1998 against Stephen Hendry, 9-8. In the intervening years, Mark J Williams captured the title from Stephen Hendry, winning 9-2 in 1997.

  • World Snooker Championship 2018 FAQ
    World Snooker Championship 2018 FAQ Written by Warren Pilkington, 18th April 2018. Will be updated as the tournament progresses where possible. Tournament What is the World Snooker Championship? The World Snooker Championship traditionally takes place in April and early May over a 17 day period with the final day being on the May Bank Holiday Monday. This year’s tournament starts Saturday 21st April and finishes Monday 7th May 2018. Who is the defending champion? Mark Selby is the defending champion, who defeated John Higgins 18-15. It was Mark’s third World Championship title, and has won it twice on the trot. Where is the tournament held? The tournament is held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, and has been since 1977. It is often referred to as “the home of snooker” by fans, commentators and players alike. This year it’s the 42nd consecutive time it's been held there. Why The Crucible Theatre? When promoter Mike Watterson’s wife saw a play at this intimate theatre in the round, she recommended it to him as an ideal venue. The closeness of the crowd to the stage (notably with two tables) and the 980 seated capacity gives it that special aura. What is the Crucible Curse? Since the World Championship has been held at the Crucible Theatre, no first time World Champion has gone on to win the championship the following year. This is known as the Crucible Curse. The closest anyone has come to breaking the Curse was Joe Johnson, who after winning in 1986 against Steve Davis lost to Steve Davis in the 1987 final 18-14.
