The very sad news has been announced today that snooker statistician Chris Turner passed away at the weekend. As with most of you here I often
referred to his website for snooker based stats and figures, which you always knew were reliable and up to date. Check out the
career centuries list for example, as up to date as possible at the time of his death.
Thoughts are obviously with the family as the internet snooker community mourns the loss of a respected and valuable member.

Yes, sad news. I wouldn't be considered a stats lover to be honest, but Turner kept tabs on the more interesting and relevant stuff and I think we've all used it at some stage.
Rest in Peace.
