You’re right, now I look again.
Wrong Mark from me - the mouth being a dead giveaway

L is Rob Brydon and you won’t convince me otherwise.

Ok, so my clue for Mark Johnston-Allen sucked. I thought if I omitted Hendry from the giant-killing list it would cause some head-scratching, but it seems it gave it away immediately.
L = Johnston-Allen is correct, although Rob Brydon deserves half a point, imo.
Rekoons is right with Ricky Walden for AD.
B = Jamie Burnett, finally, is correct. Sorry Iranu.
Rodney Goggins, who Snooker Island is proud to call its own, even though most of us don't recognise him, is right for picture U.
I'll update the post near the top of this page (page 4), as it's in a useful reference place.

I suppose it could be. As he hasn't smiled since the dawn of the 21st century, it would be hard to identify...

Q - Dave Harold - Correct!
N - Tom Ford - Correct!
Allan Taylor isn't right. K is a member of the class of '92 ... just somewhere towards the back of the class.
So that leaves:
J
K
P
V
Y
Z
AE
AJ

Dave Harold was a good call, nice one Rekoons. When you posited that I thought “nah...”
