Junior Big Break/Stars Of The Future - Who appeared on it?

[Peter147]

I vaguely remember watching Junior Big Break where they had stars of the future on it. I wondered what have players achieved since their appearance and where are they now. I've done a quick search on Google to see if I can find what players have appeared on it. I've managed to find some.

Mike King
Paddy McLoughlin
Robin Wilson
Robert Valiant
Gary Wilson
Kurt Maflin

Kurt Maflin won the IBSF World Championship. I think Gary Wilson was briefly on the main tour a few years ago and Robert Valiant currently plays in the PIOS, but none of them have gone on to do well on the main tour. What I would like to know is what other players have appeared on Junior Big Break/Stars Of The Future programmes? I'd be interested to know whether they are fulfilling their potential.

Well Paddy has turned to pool and is Number One in Ireland now and very successful in a whole range of events

Robin Wilson is a handy snooker player but a far better billiards player

Mike King (if it's the same one, cos there's 2!) is playing on the PIOS

Gary Wilson went on the win the World under 21s and had a pro season but is back on the PIOS now

Kurt went on to become pro, then lost his place, then won the World Amateur and got back on tour and that same season 2006-7 he also won a place via the PIOS, then lost it again and is on the PIOS now

Robert Valiant dropped out of the game for a while, but he's popped up on the PIOS this season and has had some good results, but not a long run through an event yet.

PIOS Event 4 started today and all the results are on GSC and the draw for Event 5 is up too.

Chris Jarvis appeared in a series of Junior
Big Break. Although he hasn’t set the snooker world alight he has been highly successful in the ‘Crucible of life’ and until fairly recently was active in the Sheffield area.

if anyone knows which episode he was on I would love to know.
