But, Joe Swail could be a valid option....Looking at the list of prize money ever won in snooker -

http://cuetracker.net/Statistics/Prize- ... n/All-time, incredibly you have to scroll down to 35th place to find the first player never to have won a ranker - Joe Swail!

I hadn't thought of Joe Swail. Excellent call PoolBoy.

I would put Day first, obviously.

Then other major contenders, like Swail, Mavis, Gilbert, Holt, Darren Morgan, Drago, Andy Hicks, Guodong, and also one of the best for me, Jamie Cope. Who knows if he hadn't won one already without the eye problems he had...

Out of that list, I'd say that the best was either Holt or Mavis.

No, Swail or Morgan.

Where would Mavis be in the pantheon of the greats if he was to win the world championship? He'd then be the only player to have won a triple crown of different world championship events...proper, 6 reds and seniors?

Well done Day.

So who's left then. Maybe they all got together last year and agreed to let some pro's win their first ranking events? :chin:

Matt Selt hasn't one won has he? But I guess we are only talking about top players.

Paul Davison has never won a ranking event ;-)

I'm not a big fan of Selt.


Apart from Mark Joyce's mum, who is?
