Alright, similar question. Who was the first player born in mainland Europe (ethnically European not enough) to play at the Crucible?

Iceland isn't in mainland Europe. Unless of course Helgason was born somewhere else.

Malta (like Iceland) is also an island, but if you want to include Malta then it would be Paul Mifsud.

Who twice reached the quarter finals at The Crucible (5 years apart) but never progressed beyond the first round in any other visit?
