In terms of never winning a single FRAME, there's a player called Peter Williams, who has lost all 99 frames he's played!!

Talking of which, I came across a guy called Anthony Bridge who was a pro from 1992-98 who I have to admire for his tenacity. According to cuetracker, he endured a bruising career that would have broken lesser mortals. Some stats:
Matches played: 53
Matches won: 1(1994 InternationalOpen, opponent unknown)
Career prize money: £0
Career centuries made: 0
Career half-centuries made: 0
Number of whitewashes (losses): 38
Brutal, but to my mind something of a hero. A winner for not giving up (at least until 1998) and despite these stats a far far better player than I could ever be.
Bravo Anthony!

I seem to recall one player had overslept and was due to play at 10am.
He was in a panic as his guest house was a 15 minute walk away and it was 9.40am and lashing down with rain.
The guest house owner didn't have a car available so he got a lift (and some shelter) in a steamroller which was in operation along the promenade.
The player was asked to wear a high visibility jacket over his dress suit in case the foreman was watching.
He arrived safely at The Norbreck Castle at 9.57am and was then promptly "steamrollered" 5-0 by Ronnie O'Sullivan in under an hour and was back in bed by midday to sleep off the Mariners related hangover from the night before.

How crap must his opponent have been, if he couldn't win a match against a guy on his death bed?

Not necessarly true.
He could have had a sudden heart attack and died right there. He could have felt a bit unwell during the match, but nothing serious, then went to his room and died.
Heart attacks are usually just like that, you can be 100%, and suddenly 0%.
