Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[davis_greatest]

Er, that question has already been completed!

We are now talking about big hands. (And I'm not referring to rounds of applause!)

I know! Sorry - Steve Davis wasn't my guess... I was just querying the suggestion that Steve Davis had never been world number 1.... and I hadn't yet seen the new question when I wrote that!

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND THREE

Which player has hands so big that he can pick up TEN snooker balls from the table, using only that hand to both pick up and grip the balls, with no other support (single-handedly, one might say)?

Hmmmm.... Peter Schmeichel? Handrew Norman? Mr Tickle? Charlie the Chimp?

[Mitsuko]

I knew it wasn't Steve Davis, but he was the only person left, I thought people would understand that I was joking!

Anyway for this question my answer is Peter Ebdon

[snookersfun]

Is it Steve Davis? (the current question)

[kellie-text]

Stuart Bingham!

[Dave147]

Is it Jimmy White???

[The Statman]

[April madness]

I understand that he changed his surname, which was originally Binghad (conveniently, a nice anagram of Bighand )

surely he isn't Mazrocis, because it means Smallhand in latvian

[Snooker Rocks!]

5!!! Is that all!
