Another good shout : 3 appearances for Robbie, losing to Neil Robertson & Stuart Bingham; his third appearance was a 1st round exit to Ricky Walden.

Juddernaut88 wrote:Michael Holt

Eight appearances for Holty, & a couple of last 16 places under his belt. He has lost to Steve Davis, Peter Ebdon, John Higgins (twice) & Mark Williams at the Crucible, and holds a win over Neil Robertson.

Alex0paul wrote:Gerard Greene?

Good effort here; 5 appearances for Gerard, no wins : he has lost to John Higgins, Peter Ebdon, Steve Davis & Shaun Murphy; his other loss was to twice runner-up Ali Carter.

Iranu wrote:Barry Pinches

Three Crucible outings for Pinches; lost to Terry Griffiths, Stephen Hendry & Ken Doherty. The Hendry defeat was in the last 16, Pinches having ousted Jimmy White in the 1st round.

The year of Pinch’s Crucible debut was the same year as the last appearance of the player you are looking for.

Milkins

the Milkman has qualified on eight occasions. He has lost to Ronnie O’Sullivan, Graeme Dott, Mark Williams (twice), John Higgins & Mark Selby.

He has also faced Neil Robertson twice at the Crucible, and won on each occasion.

Juddernaut88 wrote:Patrick Wallace

Patrick Wallace only made one Crucible appearance, famously reaching the QF on his debut outing. He faced no WC’s that year, beating Alan McManus & Mark King before departing at the hands of fellow Ulsterman Joe Swail.

I'm going to go for "dustman" Danny Fowler.

Right era Mick; Danny did qualify on 4 occasions, losing to Terry Griffiths on debut & Stephen Hendry on his last outing. In between, he departed to 3-time semi-finalist Tony Knowles & 6 times runner-up Jimmy White.

Dean reynolds

Quite an extensive Crucible record, Dean; 11 visits spanning 1982-93, beat pre-Crucible champ FredDavis on debut. Was seeded on 4 occasions with a high of no.8 in 1991. A quarter-finalist in 1989, Crucible champions on his resumé there were Alex Higgins (twice), Stephen Hendry & John Parrott. He lost to them all, though the year he lost to Hendry, Reynolds was the seed! (1988)

Is it Lee Walker?

the answer, in this case, is NOT Lee Walker; but thanks for bumping my borderline-obsessive answer from yesterday (a day in which I spent many hours under heavy medication)

Warren King.

We have a winner. Well done theAce; 1990 Mercantile Crdit Classic runner-up Warren King is the answer :

1984 : Steve Davis (L 3-10)
1987 : Steve Davis (L 7-10)
1988 : John Parrott (L 4-10)
1991 : Stephen Hendry (L 4-10)

Who were the finalists of the first ever ranking event to be held outside of the UK, and what was the name of the tournament?

Juddernaut88 wrote:Dubai Classic: Steve Davis and Tony Meo

Correct.

A certain Ronald Antonio O'Sullivan. He seemed to enjoy that tournament. Think he won it something like 4 times, and should have been another one if not for his failed drugs test.
