Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted February 26, 2010 Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 26, 2010 Latest Sports Guest CLIFF THORBURN Clifford (Cliff) Thorburn, CM is a retired professional Canadian snooker player. A former world number one (one of only seven players to hold that spot), he was world snooker champion in 1980, one of only two players from outside the United Kingdom to win the world title in the modern era (along with Ken Doherty). In 1983, Thorburn became the first player to compile a 147 maximum break at the world championships. His slow, determined style of play earned him the nickname "The Grinder".

Charmer Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nice one! Snooker players seem to be the in thing at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr fagan Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 nice one ,the more snooker players the better ,as it seems to be a sideline im into at the moment. I have five picture frames on the wall and currently all five Star Trek capts are on display with me. Before that it was the Torchwood crew so it will be nice to have a change on display. The reason i have five is to have a theme on the wall at any one time, so to have five snooker players on the wall would be brilliant, many thanks guys. Ps just need a portrait of Boba Fett and i will have five bounty hunters on the wall sometime later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18blue78 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I remember my mum screaming at the TV when she watched Cliff. She couldn't stand his slow play. I'm thinking of getting her a signed photo of Cliff for a very interesting birthday present Great work SM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Fooku Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 "Cliff Thorburn is not, primarily, a presenter. He is a snooker – ex-snooker player – and is an unknown quantity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18blue78 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Did she ever see him play Terry Griffiths then? Oh yes...and she gave up watching after the first hour. I think they were still in the first frame Edited March 2, 2010 by 18blue78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
