and what makes 1980 different?

Years that the number 1 seed did not win the title?

1980?.....??

Years that wild forgot to draw his pension ? In 1980 he also lost his bus pass, nightmare year.

It is a Crucible question I'll give you that but no hints.

The defending champion lost the second round match at the Crucible. Reardon 13-6 to Spencer in the 1977 quarters (16 entries until 1980)

1979, Reardon lost again in the quarterfinals

1980 Griffiths lost 13-10 to Davis
2001 Williams lost 13-12 to Swail
2004 Williams lost 13-11 to Perry
2008 Higgins lost 13-9 to Day
2009 O'Sullivan lost 13-11 to Allen
2010 Higgins lost 13-11 to Davis

& 1980 is different because.. The second round was Griffiths first match. Davis beat Patsy Fagan 10-6 in the first round. In 77 & 79 there were 16 entries. From 82 there were 32. In 80 and 81, 24 entries with the top 8 seeds advancing to round two.

you'll need to come up with better than that.

Yeah for people like you maybe
