  • 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 Whirlwind Blows Into Fast and Furious Snooker's
    Marcel Eckardt might not be a name you are familiar with, in snooker. 21 year old Marcel is part of the new breed of referees. “This interview is the first I have done; I am a little bit excited.”At 21 Mar- cel describes himself as organised, helpful and friendly all good qualities doe a referee. How did the German born ref get into snooker? “I was 13 I think, I watched it on telly and found it interesting. I never got the chance to play snooker growing up as there were no tables near where I lived. Snooker and Pool aren’t popular in my region but I want to do my best to change that. “I love to play but you can’t be a player and a referee, so my solution to this was play pool. I started at 19 far too late to reach anything, but I’m not bad at it. It helps me learn more to improve my skills as a referee as well.” Snooker is seeing a change, with new players and recently a large intake of young referee’s, what interests young people in the game? “I think snooker is the perfect alternative for young people. Not everyone follows the crowd and favours team sports. Skills like concentration, tactic but also mental strength are important for snooker.” “Refereeing the final on PHC was exciting but, I had spent the day before feeling really ill, I felt confident and very proud to be given the opportunity. I would next like to referee the World Championship final, that’s the dream.” Referee’s in all sports face a lot of stick from fans, but it seems snooker fans are more respectful.

  • World Snooker Championship 2019 FAQ
    World Snooker Championship 2019 FAQ Written by Warren Pilkington, 9th April 2019. 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 20th April and finishes Monday 6th May 2019. Who is the defending champion? Mark Williams is the defending champion, who defeated John Higgins 18-16. He infamously did his press conference naked, honouring a bet he made during the tournament. 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 43rd 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. Mike Watterson has passed away as of 2019, but his legacy is that the tournament found its spiritual home. 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.
