Nope Robbo won the last one which was in 2017 but the first ever one was in the 80s.

Correct :) well the answer of Doug Mountjoy anyway, he won it in 1983 and beat Terry Griffiths 4-3 in the final.

Interesting question; my wife asked me who he was last night, as the final was on (I was watching, she was 'social media-ing' and half watching).

I said I thought he'd got as high as no.3 (as well as winning 1 ranker, and 2 Crucible SF's...)

That's right! He got to number 3 for both the 87/88 and 88/89 seasons.

Damn I missed the Foulds question because I was busy passive-aggressively compiling quotes <laugh>

I only knew it was 3 because they always show it on Eurosport.

Well, as it's me and not the saintly Iranu, you've had to wait several minutes longer.

Tough.

But, as it is also me, we will have another player from the past to identify thanks to 'Ray Reardon's Bedside Snooker' (1983) (don't worry, I've nearly run out of these... :chuckle: )

Who grinds his cue into the chalk so hard you can see little mounds of chalk dust piling up on the floor at his feet?

:chin:

<laugh> There is nothing wrong me wanting the quiz to move along a little quicker. I do generally wait around 24 hours before I say stuff like patiently waiting for a question etc.

Rekoons straight in with the correct shout there! Didn't even touch the sides :clap: :clap: :clap:

'the big chalk merchant is Cliff Thorburn. We call him The Herculean Chalker'

This one comes with my favourite cartoon of all, so hop on over to the TwitterGroup, those who are that way inclined, for a glimpse of same. Perhaps then Dan or another more savvy than me when it comes to such things, could re-create it here by the Power of Greyskull.

Over to you Rekoons... <ok>

Negative to Mr. Mans (obviously, as I've anointed someone else)
