Snooker's Biggest Quiz

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND NINE

What is the link between these three players?

Fred Davis - Pat Houlihan - Patsy Fagan

Well I know they have all/claimed to have, beaten Joe Davis, beyond that, I have no idea, though I suspect it has something to do with their last/only appearance at the crucible...

[Cyril]

Not what I'm looking for Ginge. I doubt Fagan ever played Joe as he was only 13 when Joe retired.

You could also add Walter Donaldson to the list and no doubt one or two other who I am unaware of.

[Ginger Freak]

Oh yeah!

It's my work Christmas do tonight so I only have the one brain cell trying to think of an answer. The other 10 billion or so are being devoted to working out how to hold down 15 pints tonight and still turn up for work tomorrow!

Is it nothing to do with the WC's then?

[The Statman]

Oh yeah!

Your predicament of 15 pints and work in the morning might well have EVERYTHING to do with a WC.

[Cyril]

The answer connects several tournaments actually. I'm lucky my work xmas do is tomorrow, so I can have a lay in Saturday.

I will add an integrity code: JB41YF

[Ginger Freak]

Hee hee, very true Statters!

Don't suppose Graham Miles has anything to do with it?

[Cyril]

Nothing to do with our Graham.

[Ginger Freak]

Not sure then, can't think of a lot that would link Pat Houlihan with anything, given how briefly his star shone

[Cyril]

The tournament is different in the case of each man.

[Cyril]

If I said its to do with a venue, would that give it away?

[Ginger Freak]

They have all won a tournament in Blackpool?

[Cyril]

I will give you that. Blackpool Tower Circus was the venue of their finest triumphs. Fred Davis won four or five of his World titles there, Pat Houlihan beat Spencer there 11-3 in the 1965 English Amateur final there and in 1977, inaugural UK Championships was played there and won by rookie pro Patsy Fagan.
