[davis_greatest]

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE

...Anyone?

[crucible77]

In John Higgins first ever match as a professional, who did he play and for a bonus 1/2 a point what was the score?

[Alex0paul]

Princess Anne lost 4-1?

[crucible77]

*Clue* It was in the 1992-93 season and it was a UK 1st round qualifier

[dantuck_7]

Not Drago?

[The Statman]

Not Drago?

I've no idea (but can look it up) but Drago wouldn't have been in the 1st round of the qualifiers in '92. It'll almost certainly be a fellow first-season pro.

I'll go for Stephen Lee, but it could just as easily be an unheard-of as a top name.

Oh, and the score... let's say 5-2 to Lee.

[attilahun]

A wild guess ....... Paul Medati.....score 3-5

[crucible77]

His is probably unheard of to most of you.
He has never been in the top 16 and his first name is Ray and he was Australian
He infact only played for 2 seasons. The seasons of 92-93 and 1 match in 95-96.
This will probably need looking up.
(If no one gets it I shall have the point)

[The Statman]

His is probably unheard of to most of you.
He has never been in the top 16 and his first name is Ray and he was Australian

Well I guess it must be Ray van der Nouwlan then but no idea of the score! Say 5-1 to Higgins.

[The Statman]

Oops, the UK, you said. So how about 9-4 to Higgins?

[crucible77]

Well I guess it must be Ray van der Nouwlan then but no idea of the score! Say 5-1 to Higgins.

Sooo Close correct player wrong score (it was a best of 9)
(you have to get both for the points)

[The Statman]

5-2 to Higgins

[crucible77]

Nope.....nearly
