Snooker players often have some great nicknames, but can you name the players who they are associated with?

You've got three minutes...

13/14.

Never heard of The Wonder Bairn before.

It was Stephen Hendry, of all people. I thought he had The Golden Boy or The King of the Crucible as nicknames only.

13/14 missed hendry...

I didn’t know the Wonder Bairn one either, just guessed it must be Hendry.

I was in the same position, I hadn't heard that nickname before. I guessed it must have been Hendry because he was the big name missing from the list.

Yup I remember that. When he was a bairn!

Too easy. 14/14. Had 90 seconds to spare.

Got 14/14 with 2:52 to spare

I got 10/14 and ran out of time because my sausage fingers weren't quick enough. But probably would have only got 12/14 without cheating.

Missed Whirlwind.

13/14

missed Dave Gilbert

I was expecting them all to be legends on the list - apart from Dave

You call yourself SnookerFan? I think it's time for a change of username.

I must confess that I didn't know that.

My only miss, as well. Never heard it before.
