  • Some Say That There Are Actually Four Players from Outside the U.K

    Some Say That There Are Actually Four Players from Outside the U.K

    Some say that there are actually four players from outside the U.K. that have been World Champion citing Australian Horace Lindrum, a nephew of Walter, who won the title in 1952. This event was boycotted by all the British professional players that year and for this reason many in the sport will not credit him with the achievement. The other three to make the list are first, Cliff Thorburn from Canada in 1980, defeating Alex Higgins 18 frames to 16. He also made the first 147 maximum break of the World Championships in his 1983 second round match against Terry Griffiths which he won 13 – 12. Third was Neil Robertson who won a never to be forgotten final against Scot Graeme Dott 18 frames to 13 in 2010. His route to the final had started with a match against Fergal O’Brien which he won 10 – 5. Next up was a heart stopping, come from behind win over Martin Gould after trailing 0 – 6 and again 5 – 11 before getting over the line 13 – 12. Steve Davis, multiple World Champion, was next and dispatched 13 – 5 which brought him to the semi finals and a 17 – 12 victory over Ali (The Captain) Carter. Third here but really second on the list is Ken Doherty from Eire who won the World title by beating Stephen Hendry, multiple World Champion winner from Scotland, at the Crucible in 1997 winning 18 - 12. Ken had previously become the I.B.S.F. amateur World Champion in 1989 by defeating Jon Birch of England 11 frames to 2 in the final held in Singapore.

  • Tony Knowles

    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.

  • Ranking- & Einladungsturniere

    Ranking- & Einladungsturniere

    aus: Hugo Kastner: SNOOKER – Spieler, Regeln & Rekorde Update: Juli 2012 Geschichte der „Major“ Ranking- & Einladungsturniere Erst nach der Weltmeisterschaft 1976 entschied man sich dafür, auch im Snooker eine Weltrangliste zu erstellen, zunächst allerdings nur auf die World Championships der Jahre 1974 bis 1976 Bezug nehmend. Die erste Rangliste sah folgendermaßen aus: 1. Ray Reardon – 2. Alex Higgins – 3. Eddie Charlton – 4. Fred Davis – 5. Graham Miles – 6. Rex Williams – 7. Perrie Mans – 8. John Spencer – 9. Dennis Taylor – 10. Gary Owen – 11. John Dunning – 12. Jim Meadowcroft – 13. Cliff Thorburn – 14. Bill Werbeniuk – 15. John Pulman – 16. David Taylor. Bis zur Saison 1981/82, als das Jameson International (später Scottish Open) und das Professional Players Tournament (später Grand Prix) dazukamen, gab es keine Änderungen am System. 1984 folgte das Lada Classic (später Mercantile Classic), in dem Steve Davis zwei Jahre zuvor das erste Maximum Break bei den Professionals gelungen war. Im Jahr darauf kamen die ungemein prestigeträchtigen Turniere UK Championship und British Open dazu, wobei gleichzeitig große Änderungen im Punktesystem erfolgten. Ab der Saison 1988/89 ergänzten mit dem nur einmal als Ranking-Event ausgetragenen Canadian Masters sowie den European Open (heute Malta Cup) bzw. German Open weitere Ranking- Veranstaltungen den Kalender. 1990 öffnete die WPBSA den Markt in Asien mit Turnieren in Dubai, in Thailand, dem Asian Open (heute China Open) und dem Hong Kong Open. 1992 wurde zum einzigen Mal das Strachan Open als Ranglistenturnier gespielt. Alle diese Veranstaltungen wechselten jedoch mehr oder weniger oft den Schauplatz. Über die weiteren zahlreichen Ranking- und Invitational Events der folgenden zwei Jahrzehnte gibt die unten folgende tabellarische Aufstellung ein gutes Bild.
  • World Snooker Championship 2019 FAQ

    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.

CHAPTER 1 LETTER FOR BUNTER "ONE for you, Bunter!" called out Bob Cherry. "Oh!" Billy Bunter's fat face brightened. It had been clouded. It had been, in fact, lugubrious. The morning was bright and sunny. But the summer sunshine was not reflected in Billy Bunter's plump countenance. Most Remove fellows looked cheery when they came out of the form-room in break. Billy Bunter was an exception. His little round eyes blinked dismally behind his big spectacles. Bunter was not enjoying life that day. Generally, the Owl of the Remove found life at Greyfriars School a tolerable proposition.
