WILLIE THORNE
William Joseph "Willie" Thorne, is a former English professional snooker player and now a sports commentator. He is often known as "Mr. Maximum" because he claims to have hit nearly two-hundred 147 breaks in practice.
Thorne has been described as a skilled break-builder and possibly the "missing link" between old-school percentage play and the current aggressive potting game. He took 19 seasons to record 100 competitive century breaks.
Thorne also won the World Seniors Masters in 2000 – beating Cliff Thorburn in the final.
