Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[davis_greatest]

I'll guess 1973.

[jon]

Can I give PaulTheSoave a minus point for saying 72 - the year of the Hurricane?

73's first timers included Thorburn and Dennis Taylor. 75 (in Australia) had a handful of new Aussies.

Attilahun scores the point with 1978 - not a single debutant, but it did have John Barrie returning after an amazing 34-year absence!

[davis_greatest]

Congratulations, Semih_sayginer! One of the rare fatalities caused by an accident while playing snooker - in this case, he had been hanging upside-down by his legs from the rafters, and fell onto the concrete floor.

ROUND 202 - Anyone ???

[PaulTheSoave]

lol. And me thinking it was a shot played, white going in off to a belly of a kangaroo who was among the audience with his cousin!

[Semih_Sayginer]

lol. And me thinking it was a shot played, white going in off to a belly of a kangaroo who was among the audience with his cousin!

that was his 2nd last shot

[PaulTheSoave]

Ah yes, of course. Kangaroo got annoyed and kicked Priestly up the roof. As there was a shot clock involved he could not come down in 25 seconds and played it from there.

Tragic!

[Semih_Sayginer]
