Throughout its history, snooker has been dependant on the skill, expertise and personality of the players for its success.

This has been so from the early days of the 1920's and 30's, when Joe Davis's personality propelled snooker into a position as the premier billiard table game, through to the 60's and 70's when Alex Higgins became the unofficial 'peoples champion.'

With the players and personalities of the 1980's and 90's, snooker has found itself at the forefront of modern sport in the United Kingdom. The game is now recognised as one of the top two or three sports in the UK, both in terms of televised audiences and nationwide participation.

This part of our web site pays tribute to the players of today and yesteryear. Visit World Champions for details on the winners since 1927 and Embassy Champions for winners since 1976.

The links to the snooker Main Tour and Challenge Tour, provides current information on today's players and schedules.

It is our intention to develop a large information repository relating to the famous players who have made the game what it is today. Great players like the Davis brothers, Walter Donaldson, John Pullman, Ray Reardon, John Spencer, Alex Higgins, Steve Davis, Jimmy White - the list goes on and on.

All deserve their place in snooker history, which will be reflected in the pages of this web site.
