The first was won by Spencer, the second by Ray Readon, the third I dunno, but the fourth was won by Cliff Thawburn. The firth was won by Steve Davis.
This is the 1977-1981 seasons as Robert602 correctly said!Comment

Indeed, Lee.
So, congratulations robert602! I was trying to remember the names of the first five winners at the Crucible, by thinking of words starting like the beginning of their names:
Spend > Spencer
Rear > Reardon
Grip > Griffiths
Thaw > Thorburn
Day > Davis"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

ROUND FIFTY-THREE
Below are clues to 10 words, in a random order. Five of the words are snooker-related and are anagrams of the other five.
For the point, which doesn't even exist, I need all 10 words, which you should list as five pairs of anagrams, giving the snooker-related one first for each pair.
1) sounds like a prickle
2) likes his flies undone
3) don't disturb its nest
4) long way to walk
5) steady flows
6) go ahead
7) show pleasure
8) valley
9) extracted with difficulty
10) overcomes"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."
