Snooker Players

Snooker is a cue sport that originated in British India in the later half of the 19th century. Despite its relatively recent origin, the game is extremely popular in several countries across the world today. Joseph "Joe" Davis, an English professional snooker player, was a dominant figure in international snooker in the 1920s and 1930s. The modern era of snooker began in the late 1960s and Welsh player Ray Reardon emerged as the undisputed king of the game in the 1970s. He won six World Championships and is remembered as one of the best players of the 20th century. He also holds the record of being the oldest world champion in snooker history. In the 1980s, it was Steve Davis who dominated the sport while in the 1990s, it was Stephen Hendry. Despite its growing popularity all over the world, snooker remains a man’s game with few women venturing to play it. However, the future looks bright for the ladies as women players like Allison Fisher, Karen Corr, and Kelly Fisher are carving their own niches in the world of snooker.
