I have been going down memory lane, looking at previous World Championships and the players who participated just as I was getting into Snooker, this being around 1996 where as a young kid I used to watch the World Championships on tv and big break with paedo Jim.
So enough of the boring chat at the top, who do you guys believe was better out of these listed players?
Billy Snaddon or Drew Henry?
Darren Morgan or Lee Walker?
Dene O'Kane or Quinten Hann?
David Roe or Alain Robidoux?
Chris Small or David Gray?
Robin Hull or Sean Storey?
Shokat Ali or Munraj Pal?
Some legends there, so who was better?

Looks like agreement on everything except Small or Gray - and I'm on the fence on that one, Gray reached the higher level but only for a short time, Small was better than Gray most of the time though.

Yes, you're right. Lee Walker was clearly the better player over Darren Morgan, I don't know what I was thinking there.
nice try you will obviously need another 7 attempts to get it right.
