Snooker's Biggest Quiz

Spencer - Operation ?

No. I would say that your guess for the BLANK though is probably equally warm with Mitsuko's.

No. I would say that your guess for the BLANK though is probably equally warm with Mitsuko's.

Although that looks like superb wit on my part, given that Mitsuko also then said "Operation", I hadn't yet seen Mitsuko's latest post. I meant Mitsuko's previous guess of "Injury".

Charlton - Setback ?

[davis_greatest]

We still haven't got either the player or the BLANK.

[Cessy143]

Oh BLANK this for a laugh!!

[snookersfun]

Fred Davis- heart attack?

[The Statman]

Pair of glasses – Doug Mountjoy?

[davis_greatest]

snookersfun extends her lead

Fred Davis- heart attack?

Congratulations, snookersfun! It was "coronary", but that's close enough.

Referring to his 15-14 win over Alex Higgins in the quarter-final of the 1974 World Championships, Fred Davis wrote in his book "Talking Snooker" that "I didn't play at all well for two-thirds of the match, largely because I had had my second coronary earlier in the winter and hadn’t played at all for three months."

Davis went on to lose to Ray Reardon in the semi-final.


So here is the scoreboard after round 66:

[davis_greatest]

At the risk of acting out of place, in the absence of The Statman, I am going to declare that snookersfun won that last round - provisional on The Statman's confirmation, which I venture should be a formality.

So here is the scoreboard after round 67:

Pos. . . . . . . . Points . . . . . . Name
