Bit surprised our 4 time World Champion, Mark Selby, hasn’t got an MBE by now. When you consider some of the others, surely he’s about due…
OBE’s - Walter Lindrum, Joe Davis, Fred Davis, Steve Davis, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Terry Griffiths.
MBE’s - Clark McConachy, Gary Owen, Ray Reardon, Stephen Hendry, John Parrott, Jimmy White, John Higgins, Mark Williams, Reanne Evans, Vera Selby, Alison Fisher.
