2018 World Championship

[The Rook]

I've always looked for the heights of Snooker players out of interest and often found varying dates. But yeah, while Wilson looks quite tall to me (he bends even his right leg a bit when in stance), this might be because he is pretty slim. Cause on photos he appears to be a bit taller than O'Sullivan and of similar height as Mark Selby. So about 6 feet.

I'd say 5ft 11, but 6ft sounds more realistic than 6ft 3 to me.

Williams describes himself as 6ft 1 according to this:

Kyren looks maybe fractionally taller than O'Sullivan to me, and Ronnie appears 5ft 10 here:

A "legit" 6' 3'' (there are plenty who exaggerate) would be VERY tall.

Doherty has a very strong Dublin accent and that comes with its own quirks, including the T replacing TH and saying de instead of the.

Maybe Dennis is confused by the longevity?

I think they miscounted somewhere, as in 1964, 65 and 66 there were two tournaments a year, so that is 6 plus one each in 57 and 68
don't see where the 10 comes from, yet

[JimMalone]

Great frame.

As for Pulman I think he's officially a seven-time-champion. But he also won the World Matchplay Championship in 1957.

[The Rook]

Yep, he is tall, as is Williams.

Wilson does bend both legs a fair bit.....

He was Billiards champ too?

Good thought, but not according to Wikipaedia

Wilson 6 foot 3? Surely Dennis can't be serious. I didn't think Kyren would be 6 foot.

Whenever Dennis Taylor mentions John Pulman he always calls him "Ten times World Champion". All the records I have looked at suggest he won it 8 times (some say seven). Are they all wrong or is Taylor talking rubbish again

What a beautiful exchange of safeties this was.

[Dark]

Should Wilson have played a safety?

EDIT: It all worked out but giving Higgins a chance is surely not wise.

I do think he deliberately hams it up for TV! :wink:

I agree, very enhanced, all for TV.... and to keep his job :P
